PURISTS BEWARE! who would be interested in a write up on a complete maverick build?

oooh. i think i might a few more bars to my cage. i like the bars going to the subframe connectors and the shock tower bars.

 

Not too far away, We'll be heading to Bradenton for the NMRA opener.

 

Here is a few pics of the inboard spring w/ sliders instead of the shackles.

Using a laser line to keep everything on center.

And some pics of the drivers side inboard and slider bracket

 

Cool that you will be at the NMRA event. That makes me want to come spectate even more. I'll come by to meet you in person.

When I first read you were bringing the car here, I thought you meant you were moving here ...

 

Here is another one for you, a Racepak dash, and removable wheel.

 

Ohhh, I like that, I've been thinking about something like that..

 

Very cool build!!

 

Nice build,but at some time in the future if you really bump up the HP,go w/ an automatic or ditch that 8.8.The 8.8 will not hold up under a high HP stick car,I know because I`ve seen it.Guys in the Pro Stick class out of Maryland,& the Classic Gear Jammers out of NC don`t use 8.8s,they will tell you it`s an exercise in futility.

 

Interested to see how the dash electronics interact with a car this old as far as speedometer, tach, temp gauges etc.

 

Here is some of the engine compartment, notice the relocated master cylinder and cable actuated clutch with firewall adjuster.

 

The 8.8 will be just fine for this little 425hp combo, If I decide to step on it down the road it will go to an auto.

 

The electronics will interact with any car regardless of age, its the wisdom of the installer that makes it happen. If the install sucks in a brand new car it wont work properly.
here is a similar dash in my 53 f100: works without issue.

 

Nice work on the cage! This is very cool, can't wait to see it done.

Are you posting more details on this build anywhere else?

 

Not as of yet, its basically a maverick/comet forums exclusive..

 

Here is a pic from NMRA opener in FL, this is one of the "teaser" shot from one of the two photo shoots....
