    That's really a good looking car, and I love the green paint.

    I spend a lot of time down in your area working for a natural gas pipeline - in fact, I'll be marking out a field on Route 248 across from the Wawa tomorrow - hope to get a look at you car sometime :thumbs2:

    Rear swaybar brackets

    Thats crazy, I drive past there every morning on the way to work, hopefully my maverick will be driving soon, they still need to make the trunk floor to go over the fuelcell before they give it back to me.

    The 66 mustang has a cool story that it is the owner of the shops; moms, first new car. Now has a supercharged efi 347 stroker.

    I have no idea what green my maverick is as I bought it painted a few years ago, its not perfect has some bondo and I had the hood come up and kiss the roof when I first got it.

    The rear frame rails were rotted out but they fixed that after putting the 3 link in. He called me today. He said he put the trunk floor in it today and it came out looking like it came from the factory that way.

    Looking good. It appears that they cut into the floorpan for the brackets at the forward trailing arm brackets. I cut my brackets to fit. I wonder what they did with the factory shock support structure that had to be cut out of the way.
