    Who knows, but he thanks you for the lead, nonetheless! (y)

    btw, I fit 28" X 11.5 E.T.'s (atually 10.5" wide) under mine.

    I don't know the offset or face to face dim's on 9" rear tho.

    I dont know why I'm so stupid with a computer.

    Tried the downsize link you gave me and I'm more
    lost than a ... well, never mind.

    if someone is on tonight and is willing to post this,
    send me your e-mail and i'll send it to you...

    - Mavaholic, in order to make them fit, I had to do a
    mini tub. I wanted a Semi/Pro Street look. Had to shorten
    the rear end, slide the springs in along with the Cal-Tracs.
    My look that I'm going with is to have the tire side wall half
    way tucked up and only half the side wall showing

    thanks for the help john-


    I'm getting so pumped about this project.
    I'm going with a GT theme from 68-70 when
    this red GT logo was used.

    I'm custom building a Grille Ornament to replace
    the actual Maverick logo. I have another GT logo
    that I bought which was intended to be used on
    the 67-69 Mustang Flip Open gas caps. The GT
    logo fits perfect in the center area of the grille
    ornament

    Then I bought a 67-69 Mustang GT Flip Open
    gas cap to mount in place of the Maverick Gas cap.
    Alot of body work had to be done to make this work.
    I had to eliminate the trunk lock and have a buttom
    mounted in the glove box (like newer cars) to click
    open the trunk. The flip open gas cap used on the
    Mustang has the Red GT logo on it as well.

    No Maverick logos on the car. Just red GT logos.
    I wanted to build my version of the Maverick GT
    using actual GT logos from Mustang's and Torino's
    used in this time frame that the 70 Maverick "COULD HAVE"
    wore.
