    It's paintforcars.com sunshine yellow base coat/clear coat urethane. The stripes are Eastwood Boulevard Black single stage urethane. Not doing a full rewire, but cleaning up some older wires and fixing a couple bugs. Had to replace the turn signal flasher ($6) and now they work great. Spent the last year going through it; not a restoration but rather a reworking for a daily driver. Lots of new parts and of course cosmetic work. Not many in this area, and it certainly turns heads as people drive by. It should be finished this week and back on the road.

    Specs: 1976 Maverick 2 door, originally 6 cylinder auto, now Hi-Po 302 with Ford 3 speed in the floor with 2.79 rear. Chambered exhaust with Hooker long tube headers. Weiand Stealth aluminum intake. Haven't dyno'd it yet for H.P. output, but it's got a niiiiiccce kick to it.
