got it home and redid the brakes.

Meanwhile i've been checking out the forum and realizing just how nice it would look without that big bumper...

so i've got enough money saved up to hopefully convert the bumpers but then my parents come home and said the mav had flat tires so that money was GONE!

bought these tires...

then couple months after the cruise it was time to go get a Grabber hood from "Yellow75"!!!

Matterick · 2009-03-14, 14:52

well we visited "Yellow75" and left with a Grabber hood, trunklid, two fenders, some awesome Fresh Cherries and chrome peices for the dash

"Yellow75" is an awesome Mavericker to deal parts with!

the hood was braced in its own box we made with plywood

and quick little story... we were camping down by were Yellow75 lives so when we headed back to the campground we unloaded it all. you should of seen the look on some peoples faces as they saw all of them maverick parts!

Oh man I have avoided being captured on film, I am 54 years young. Would have sent Matt home with more but they still had to load the trailer with camping gear and bikes. Matt has a great family and have enjoyed meeting them.

If there was such a thing as a young Mavericker award I would nominate Matt for it he has an a great love of the car.
