    WOW!!!! Now I want to build another Maverick just to follow all these instructions! That yes, it was a real lesson! surely I will follow all instructions when I reassemble the car.
    I think it worked well, but just in case it is always good to check and re-check everything that was said and make the recommended alterations if necessary.

    Thank you so MUCH! you guys are "the guys"! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

    I feel I am more wise now!:D:thumbs2:

    cheers!!

    Are your going to install your grabber hood as well as the camaro tail lights?

    What are you going to do about getting the rear tires to fit now?:)

    Grabber hood, I do not think so ... in Brazil costs 2K used! in bad really conditions!
    and I tried to buy several times a carbon hood of a member of the forum but he never answered me..
    So I still do not know what I'll do.. lets wait and see...

    as the camaro tail light .. yes I will use, I bought yesterday! but this time I will use that with reverse lens in the center.(too many work to fit the reverse lights in the rear valance)

    Did you sell your other car to get the painted one? It's seems like you had a lot of time and custom parts on that car to abandon it just because of paint.

    Or is the plan to have 2 cars?
