    If I still had dial-up...I think my computer would have crashed. :D

    Looked like a nice car to start with.

    I'm very impressed with your build photos so far. There are a lot of parts available in Brazil that we don't get to see here in the states and it's nice to watch a build like your's documented so well in pictures. :thumbs2: :thumbs2:

    I really like the way the bucket seat frames are built for your car. I think I will do something similar when I mount my 72 Mach 1 seats in my own Maverick :)

    Thank you friends!!

    nothing better than a lot photos to show what we are doing(y) ( or trying to do :))

    Besides, it is a great help to beginners and people who do not understand much English.Not to mention that this is the # 1 source for lovers of Mavericks and Comets.

    Cheers!!!

    I have been working on building my Maverick for a long time now and I have taken over 3500 photos of my build step by step - you would be surprised how many times I look back at some of the pictures while planning my next move. I carry my digital camera around in my pocket all day long while working on my car.

    We all appreciate the time that you put into your car and the extra time it takes to take the pictures so we can see what you are doing :thumbs2:

    Thanks guys!!

    (*puxa vida!) LOL tranlate: a kind of "Holly cow! "

    I live 1 hour from Sao Paulo..

    about the tail lights...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: sorry guys...

    actually, I'll replace these taillights ... I've even got a couple brand new here, but I'll just show you only in the end ..
    It is not an original part Ford. and probably (I am sure that) some people will want to kill me for that...so its way better to wait to show :rolleyes::thumbs2:

    in this case,I think that what matters is the result..and the result will be good!

    Today I got one missing plastic part, used ,and gave him an improved

    cheers!!
