    New to the forums (new Project needs a name)

    hello
    well for the last 5yrs i have been toying with my 74 Maverick "Grabber"
    it's now has a '70 302 V2 block with HIPO 289 heads and a few other go fast parts but i'm thinking of doing some changes to the car's body '70-72 look as i can't stand the '74's 5mph bumpers and deleting the PS as i cant stand it ether

    but i'm new to the forums but not to customizing cars/trucks and i heard this is the place to b.

    well i'm thinking of truning my Maverick n2 a Pro-Touring car it was originally done as a drag/street car by my other half and her X-husband the motor was built for Drag and that was about where it stopped as my other half wanted something they could cruse in from time to time as i have now taking over the car and it's build i would like to turn it n2 a Pro tour car daily driver as i love old classics but love the way new sport cars handle and i kno old cars dont handle very well.
    so things to do r as follows:
    custom dash with all gauges to read off all info b ut stayin true to the look of the Maverick dash
    70-72 bumpers and Valances
    custom bodywork
    full disc brakes
    posi rearend
