    Do you still have to get a hood for it?

    800 + shipping and tax's as well the exchange on the $
    If you bought it piece by piece steel or fibreglass it would be a lot more!
    I will be selling some pieces later in the spring!

    That is sweet looking to me...sure you could send them or post them here! I'm sure all would be happy with that! Any change to the front springs on your ride?

    valleyracer,

    Very nice, would certainly like to see pictures on how you mount it.

    away,

    Would love to see pictures of how you mounted it. How much does the
    Maverick weigh. I would love to shed 3/400lbs on mine. Right now it is
    3125 without me.

    Thanks

    That is definitely on my wish list. My whole front end went bye bye a long time ago.

    My car is a full chassis strut car but mounting of the clip can be the same. Use 1/2" square tubing and 4" square 1/8" or less plate to fiberglass with. Piece of cake. That will take care of the attachment at the front. The rear should be mounted in 3 positions on each side at the rear. Start by placing the front clip on a jack in the front and mount the rear first....once all 6 fasteners are installed move to the front and then use the 1/2" tubing and plates to fiberglass the front to the frame/chassis. I remove the 6 rear fasteners and my clip will easily remove.....on and off in less than the time it takes you to walk around the car. I will post more pics in a couple of days.:thumbs2:
