    That is a good looking car. That wasnt very nice of the body shop to give your car back with a broke motor, but I'll bet the roller motor was an improvement at least. Nice car! Post a pic of the interior and console when you get a chance.

    Nice transition from old to present. Keep a close watch on that plastic gas filter; I had one deformed/softened at the nipples one night and sprayed fuel all over the engine bay. I was lucky the car didn't go up in flames. I felt the car loose power coming over a bridge, lucky I was on the downward side of the hill. Metal or glass for me, from now on..

    Thanks for putting your maverick in the Garage! We need more members to do the same. Don't forget to post your tire and wheel information and time slips if you plan to test your project. That information can help other builders.

    Real nice work on the conversion!

    I will be posting more pictures of the interior, I just didn't have any good ones on my phone. I have already exchanged it for a nice metal one because the plastic was warping too much for my taste. I will post the tires and such when I get a chance.
