    Check out that plate: in TOW, See you at "Bridge"
    Is that a single sidepipe? Was that the I6 that was in it when it raced? Just curious how much work he had in it. I am sure you will give new life to that old racer. Good luck with the project Barry from another Long Island Maverick owner.

    I don't know. I thought that it looked pretty cool just as it was. Think of it as "patina". Some old cars are just better off left unrestored because the grime, wear and tear, dents and scratches and numerous layers of paint showing thru tell so many stories.
    I would have restored this car mechanically, maybe even raised the bar a bit, but left the cosmetics "as-is".
    Nevertheless, it's all a matter of taste and I'm sure it'll be a cool car when you're finished with it. Good luck AUSSIEBJ

    John I here ya, I would have loved to leave it that way but racing scantions frown on cars that are cosmeticly patina`d....

    It always amazes me what a set of wheels will do for the look of a ride...here is the right size tire that fits .I bought some MT ET streets
    .255 X60x15`s on a 15x 8 rim its tight to the leaf but a 1/4 inch spacer will fix that
