    Hello, I am new to this group. I love everything you are doing. I owned a 72 Ford Maverick in HS. It was my first car. I have been wanting to get another one since I am semi retired from the Air Force. Your restoration has given me the inspiration I need to find my project.

    Keep up the good work.
    Kenn

    If you're talking about these, he stated he found two NOS (new old stock) and restored some originals. To my knowledge, there are no reproductions, you either buy used or hunt for some elusive NOS items.

    I've seen pic's scattered about and he's coming along nicely with the detail work.

    And I too would like to know the answer to that one too, Bob. Hope his Dad has a good heart to handle a surprise like that! Cruzin's gotta be up into the top 10 Dad's of the year with this little gem. :1st:

    PS.. not to gripe.. but why don't all Cruzin's photo uploads show up in his gallery? Or for that matter.. where the heck did the gallery go? New site lost that feature?
