    Just wanted to say Howdy.I'm a long time owner (20 years or so) of a 71 Ford Maverick, I call it my promise car. When my Wife's Grandma gave me the the car she asked me to promise her I wouldn't turn it for a quick profit.

    It's spent almost 10 years in storage after being hit, but I have since pulled her out of the garage, and not only started driving her to work as my daily driver, but started to rework her for a v-8 swap.

    I'll post pics when I figure out how to get them from my phone to my computer
