    I joined as a 16 year old kid, who just got a maverick as my first car. Now I'm 32 and have accomplished quite a bit on it but still not done. So far I have:
    a built 302 (414 flywheel H.P), 4 piston Wilwood disc brakes all four corners, Mini Tub (still have an intact back seat), QA1 12 way adjustable shocks, built C-4. Street car

    I'm not building a 408w EFI Blown motor. The car will be getting a new front suspension, completely cutting show towers out and putting in mustang 2 rack and pinion.
    G&S Customs will be doing the suspension work. He does great work.

    Didn't know they were available but I'm putting in a 408w and want the room to run 2in headers with plenty of clearance :)
    I'm friends with G&S customs here in AL. He's a suspension wizard! He just finished setting up Derrick Travis' car. He's one of the guys off street outlaws.
