Project "Therapy Sessions" 1972 Maverick

My new plates arrived today!!!


Unruly, Adjective: disorderly, wild, uncontrollable, unmanageable, rowdy.

Yeah, that sounds about right!!!!

 

Awesome!! What else can you say??

 

Been playing with some ideas on the rear spoiler. I like the Grabber spoilers, but don't think they have an aggressive enough look. So, I added two inches to it's height. While in the planning stages I noticed the rear "dip" in my fathers Roushe spoiler on his 06 Mustang. So it got me thinking, why not!?

I have it roughed in at this point. Still needs finishing, but definitely getting there. Today I started on the quarter extensions as well.

I like it!!! I have been given a name of a local guy that could pull a mold off of them and make a few sets if anyone has any interest?

This project is taking way longer than I had hoped. Between the day job, the family, and side jobs there are never enough hours in the day. I had a friend bring his 32 Ford roadster over for a few minor touch ups. This a $80k car. While sanding on a couple panels the paint would never feather out. I hit it with a blow gun and blew the paint right off the quarter panel!!!! We have now stripped it down and I am getting it prepped up for a full repaint.
Whomever painted the car did something massively incorrect.

 

I'm impressed! Great work!

 

That looks pretty good.....

 

I always found it hard to come up with a decent looking spoiler other than a stock Grabber style but this does look very nice

 

I want one.

 

OOHH... I want one of those spoilers too...
Very nice...Awsome concept!!!

 

I think the whole car sucks! and you should start over, I just happen to have a car you can practice on.....I'll even deliver it!

 

Wow...wow wow wow!!! this. is. awesome.

 

I haven't posted in a long time, but i just had to comment on this. Very nice work, i will try to follow along to see what you do next. Great work !!!!

 

Thanks for all the positive responses. They do help!

Today I ordered the gauges and the indicators for the dash. These products all come from here:

See attached pics.

 

Good choice. I've had my eyes on the 3 in 1 sets.

 

I really like the three in one also, and had I not spent fifteen hours making the new gauge panel I would have gone with them. I think those in the stock two gauge panel would be awesome. I made a mock up of them and put it on my bezel, and they looked a bit lost in my eyes.

Going that rout would have saved me two hundred bucks as well as they have the indicators in them. Oh well....

 

your car is coming along great! do you have any pictures from the back of your dash like where the panel you made bolts up?
