    Welcome aboard. Lots of great people here. Don't know of anyone that makes them aftermarket. I got mine off of a Comet GT parts car.

    Welcome to the board. From what I can tell, nobody reproduces wheel opening mouldings for Mavericks yet. The ones I have found in the junk yards belonged in the junk yards. Your best bet is to keep an eye on Ebay. They do show up once in a while.

    Welcome to the board! You might check out Granada or Monarch wheelwell trim-----it has the same cross section as my 74 Comet but has a slightly differnt bend in the rear area; it may be possible to take a piece and cut thewide part where it attaches to the body and reform it to fit your wheel wells, I am going to try this on mine later, I saved a couple of pieces off of a parts car that I had. Try your local junk yards and keep your eyes open for cars that have been sitting for a while, never know, might run across a good parts car anywhere!(y)

    73mtymav, just another welcome to the board. I am not from WI, but it is good see a WI Maverick owner join our ranks.
