    Not a Stallion,Not a Grabber, It's a STABBER ( hence knife point hood )
    I've been coming to this forum for years . I'm not much of a poster. I've been bulding a GREAT Maverick for the past couple of years and all your GREAT advice has been appriciated (even if you didn't know ,I learned a huge amount here) My Maverick started out as a car destined for the crusher. I welded in a complete rear sub-frame, a Z type frame that connected front to rear , rebuilt the front torqe boxes out of 1/8 plate.I cut the shock towers to accomadate the 351W that is equiped with Roush heads , roller rockers ,Eldebrock performer cam and intake. Every nut and bolt have been out of this car and I made every attempt to make it BETTER. I am just finishing the paint in the next week or so ( silver with alot black tim). I am just waiting for the fiberglass Grabber hood I ordered from ShowCars.com (I ordered it back in MAY) This winter I will install a rack and pinion system from RRS , and an AOD .I hope I've done the Maverick world proud . I hope to find some shows in Michigan for Mavericks
