    I know Dennis Martin's Sprint was pretty rough by the time he decided to resurrect it. Good thing he had the facilities, tools, and skill to pull it off.

    Pics of it are all over the net.

    This will be the worst Maverick I've ever brought back, rotten cowl, rotten floors, rotten roof, rotten quarters, rust in the doors.....but other than the hood, and where they painted over the white stripes, it's original paint...no interior, engine or transmission...

    I don't know if this is the worst as far as paint etc. but this is what I started with (a bare shell; this is actually what I got, not after I stripped it)....and what I found when I started uncovering old patches..and more recently during mock-up (prior to wetsand)....
