    Dan; who did you use for a chromer, and how much to do a small bumper? I need my rear bumper done. BTW, the car looks great. Can't wait to see it in person.

    Hey Dan what kind of wheels do you plan putting on the Maverick? and your Maverick grill emblem seems to be in the wrong position

    Wheels - what's wrong with the ones on there? :)

    Actually here is what is going on .... Original SLots and Centers with Hoosier GT's ..

    I believe the emblem is correct one row down from the top of the sport light. The picture may make it look like it is at the top of the light ...

    Dallas Plating did the chrome work ... Dallas, GA. Search the forum I posted it somewhere .... $180
