Hi everyone, yes I am new to this but am glad I am here. I am looking for ideas to restore my 1972 Ford Maveric. I am very excited about the restoration because I have so many ideas but am unsure wear to start. Any help would be totaly greatful because I am new when it comes to restoration of a vehicle anyway. Thanks, sheilalela
to the board! Glad you found us! Lots of good advice and people here to help you with pretty much everything. Try the "search" option for anything you are interested in...or just ask us and we will help anyway we can! By the way...everyone loves pics(hint hint)
Howdy and First thing is to get the car mechanically sound. If your car is 4 lug, converting to 5 lug with disc brakes is a good place to start. Even if it is already 5 lug, convert to frony disc. Next is the front end. Make sure all worn bushings are replaced and a proper alignment can be obtained. Then its time to decide what you want. Do you want a nice econo crusier or a powerful street ripper? Or maybe in between. Your only limitations are your imagination and your bank acount.
what mavaholic said. also if your not sure how you want it to look peruse the member galleries. also if you do a search on seats there is a post with a lot of interior pics for ideas on that as well.
Welcome to the board. Only suggestion I have is this: Its a lot easier to restore a car that you do not have to drive daily....hopefully that is your situation. Other than that, look around and ask questions....its probably been done here before.
Thanks for the help, I will check everything out. Oh yes I am driving my Maveric, Not that I have to but because I just realy like to, It is going to be realy hard to park it when work needs to be done, but it will be worth it. Thank's sheilalela
