    I did not have the intention of building another Maverick anytime soon.
    but remained virtually every piece that I replaces in the black Maverick, so I decided to start this orange before I finish the black.

    This car will be simpler than the other, most of the bodywork was already done by the previous owner, I'm just going to clean up the mess! and use most of the parts not used in the other car.

    I've posted some pictures in another thread, but I'll start a thead here only to orange.

    Cheers! :drive:

    As I already said, this project will be a much simpler (cheaper) but I will do everything with care and that I'm having with the Black Maverick, much care and dedication.

    did that car have dodge charger lights on it before you swapped to the Camaro lights?

    reason I ask is that there was a picture of a car in Brazil with charger lights posted not too long ago around here. Maybe that's a more popular swap over there?

    I like the Camaro lights better though. Should turn out real nice with all those cool parts and look forward to seeing the progress as it goes along. Good luck with it all. (y)

    Thanks!!

    the intention of the former owner was putting Chevrolet Opala lights..

    Opala was and is very popular here in Brazil .. but Opala lights on Mavericks, no!

    I've seen up there either .. but it is not popular and few people like.:thumbs2: (in a Maverick)
