    My project takes off this weekend Guys! I feel like I'm going to pick up my first Brand New car off the show room floor.

    M.A.V., again, your Maverick was my turning point to walk away from a Mustang and take the Maverick. I'm going to stay with the original green that the car came with which is just like yours but, I won't copy yours. I've never enjoyed it when people would copy my stuff.

    Thankfully, my father owns a body shop and I have a team of three helping me... so, I should have it about wrapped in 3 months. I know that sounds pretty quick but, when I bought this Maverick, it was already someone elses project and they had alot done already. Plus, I already had the 302 that's going in it and the 9" rear end. So, that helped.

    I'll take pictures as I go... may need help posting the pictures though.

    Auburn, it's got to be exciting to get started. Good luck, and feel free to ask questions as you go along, and take plenty of pics.

    Take care,

    I've had me eye on these head lights off of a Jaguar. Without a doubt, this price tag would be large... but, i think on the right custom Maverick with the right color it could be done with a very rich taste.

    those jaguar headlights would look cool on a Mav but it would be a killer of a job to put those in, even the wiring would be difficult
