    For those of you that remember the story I told in about January of seeing this Maverick that a guy I worked with in a Ford Dealership in '74 was putting together and I've kinda kept tabs on how the car was coming all spring,he finally finished and brought it out to a cruise for the first time Tues. night.He bought it a few years back and it had a healthy small block 4 speed in it,and it was tubbed,he tore it all down and finished putting a full cage in it,with Must.II front and a C-6 and a lot of great work and detailing.....and did I mention the 572 BIG block Ford with Aluminum Cobra Jet heads?!!!! Man you ought to hear this thing,it sounds awsome,I just can't even imagine how this thing will run when all sorted out,It's a "street" motor with hyd.flat tappet and set up for Pump gas with massive low end torque,fun car to drive! The 69 Mach is my buddys,(The black Mav. is mine of course) and The Cobra Torino is also a buddy of mine,Enjoy the pics.Jack

    Holy Cow! ... the valve covers almost touch the inside of the hood!

    I'd love to go for a ride in that!
