    Nobody around me wants anything to do with my big bumpers. I can't give them away. Been tripping over them since 2010. I was able to sell the front bumper mounts.

    That's what I figured, probably not even worth a try.....heck, mine is the only Maverick I've even seen on the road ANYWHERE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY for that past 5 years at least!

    92 lbs of scrap metal, oughta be worth a couple bucks anyway...

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND?

    Should I notch the fenders to fit the stone guard, or vice versa? Notching the stone guard seems easier, right?

    Do I have to do anything to the '74 fenders to fit the chin valance, or does it just bolt right up to the lower lip, where the '74 lower fender extensions are attached?

    I notch my fenders. Here is a brief run-down on my 'How to" Fender Notch
