    Hi all, I am a newbie with a 72 Maverick faux Grabber.
    I am in bad need of the rear quarter moldings (chrome with black insert), especially the Drivers Side.
    I could also use a better drivers door molding.
    I pieced my car together updating a Six Cylinder car with 5 Bolt Rear End, Front Disc Brakes, 302 and C4 trans.
    I am preparing to install a HO 302, AOD, Narrowed Explorer 8.8 disc brake rear and larger front discs, sway bar, and spring tower intertie.
    Just for fun I race a stock bodied 1953 Studebaker with a 396" Dart BBC/Lenco 4 spd running in the A/Classic Fuel Altered Class at Bonneville and burning Methanol with up to 30% Nitromethane for fuel.
    Best time so far 238+ for the standing mile (average).
    My Maverick is a great get around car and although it is a 50 footer, I get lots of thumbs up and the goofy Honda drivers Love IT!
    Sorry if this is under the wrong heading, but I am a 66 year old burn out old Hippy.......... Thanx, Bob Drury
