    So I have finally decided to do a build thread on my 1970 Maverick (Lil' Red).
    I have had the car for two years now. It was bought as a gift from my fiance.
    The car car was in pretty fair shape. Minor rust and dings. 200ci 3 speed on the column. Car was missing radiator and thermostat neck. After rounding up the parts i got her running. Replaced brakes and bearings all the way around. Replaced the carb, plugs and wires, fuel pump, master cylinder, fuel tank from a 73' and all four wheel cylinders. She ran great. After driving it for a few months #5 cylinder went dead. I kept easing around in it till I was stopping at the gas station checking the gas and filling the oil..:slap:

    Finally had to park her. Well a few months ago I picked up a 1990 5.0
