    hi tbirdz12 that picture was taken in sonora -arizona desert - and about my maverick is all steel ,interiors are complete,i just change the seats are from a 84 mustang its whight 3200 lbs (no fiber glass) 8 point roll bars ,lader bars coil overs instead of the original rear suspension, front suspension is stock ,the rear end 9 inch is out of a granada whith disc brakes ,the car is driven in streets often i just change the slicks for radials and put the flow masters and raedy to go. the motor is a 364 cid making 599.7 hp 535 lbs torque it was build by larry engine and marine in tucson Az its a 8.2 dart block bored to 4.125 je pistons,eagle forged rotating asambly ,jon kaase-jegs canted heads ,lunaty boodo roller cam ,950 hp carb,hookers 1 3/4 inch headers ceramic coated, canton carter , pa c-4 trans whith trans brake. the car runs in super stock (10.90) i leve at 4000 and shift points at 6200 to make 10.90 but last week i leave at 5300 rpm and shft points was 7300 and runs 10.32 the rear end is 4.56 the rev limiter start probavly 3/4 of the trak so probably if i change gears its goig to run faster . The rar tires are 29x12 goodyears on 10 inch weld wheels ,front tires are 26x 4 fron runers in a 3.5 inch weld wheels . i ad a comet scoop because the need for more air for the motor (i m not sure if is enogh air but its working ok) if you need to know something else let me know and sorry about my english i will improve my second lenguage soon paracticing bye
