    Well I went to the junkyard and found some stuff.

    Got the seats out of a 73 maverick for $150 and the hood, small rear bumper, and small front bumper with brackets off a 70 maverick all for $80

    I think I did pretty good this time around. I needed the hood for my car, and the small bumpers were a plus, but obviously need some restoration. The seats I ran across by surprise but are in pretty good condition as you can see the one with the crack I did clean up and the other with no cracks I didn't clean up yet.

    Overall- a great day! :bananaman:

    I remember back in the 90's leaving a junk yard and seeing another Maverick being hauled in - they were everywhere

    That looks to be a pretty nice hood!

    Im pretty happy with all my finds. Only thing that I'm kinda sad about is them small bumpers. Being my mav is a 77 and I got them really big ass bumpers, I was pretty excited to find the small ones, but they are in pretty bad shape, and getting them restored at a shop is probably gonna cost me a small fortune that I dont think I can afford right now. I'm looking for some alternatives right now. They are badly pitted and pretty rusty aswell. Any suggestions?
