    Those seats are beautiful! The interior turned-out awesome, Don! Even if the seats do have Brand-X parts... :D

    Im told that Maverick Sprints didnt come with bucket seats, so I kept it that way. I have a cazy custom Maverick so this one will be close to stock. Its fun to do either way.

    Quick update, no pics. Replaced upper and lower control arms and all ball joints as well as the stabalizer bar bushings and spring perches. I cut the front coil springs while they were out. Also replaced the front shocks. Swapped out the rear shocks and added leaf spring helpers to get a little sag out of the back end. I installed a Pertonix II ignition, Flamethrower coil and new 8mm wires and a new set of plugs, cap and rotor. Replaced the alternator and voltage regulator, starter and solenoid. New fuel pump and replaced the fuel lines, vaccum lines, rad hoses, heater hoses and belts. Lastly, changed the 10+ year old oil and filter. Slowly getting this long list shorter.

I have finished my Sprint and wanted to post some final pictures. I also want to thank everyone I bought parts from over the years. There were so many that I can't remember you all. Thanks to Craig, Junrai, Captain Comet, Roger Moneymaker,Rotor22 and all the others. I could not have done this without your help. Also need to thank some folks for technical advice, Dave B, Craig , Dan Starnes and Dennis. MyCollage_4.png MyCollage_4.png MyCollage_3.png

    Looks incredible my friend! Maybe I will have to update my thread now that my car is also done. You should be very proud of the work you've done and the way it came out! Great job...
