    As many of you know.. My father and I bought Jamie's Maverick back in March.... Well since then we've done a few things to her... This is my sister's car now... so excuse the purple interior and heart (no she wasn't in the military)... Rolled the wheel lips as well when she's ready to step up to some real rubber (195/75-14s up front 215/75-14s out back currently)

    Found a new side marker and fixed up that valance a bit...

    Of course I couldn't neglect my car either.. so after rolling the wheel lips and doing a 1" lift with some oversize shackles.. I put in some 275/60-15s out back. Since then I've sanded down and repainted the bumper and back end area so it looks a bit better.. More pics to come when I take 'em :p Oh.. she sits a little higher than that in the back... I had 4 tires in the back seat area and the lame 205/70-14s I had before these meats in the trunk...

    I found a 73 Gran Torino with 4 of these wheels on it a couple weeks ago... During the time I waited for the next half off day... some jerk came by and grabbed two of them! Oh well, I only needed 2 for the back anyways... and after a little cleaning up...

    hahaha! Thanks, that's the look that I was going for... :cool:
    Yeah the 69 1/2 is a real sweetheart. Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for getting it from Jamie. It's gonna be killer when it's done!;)
