Reproduction Maverick parts.....

That will be great. I'll help in any way I can. Feel free to contact me direct any time.

 

I think this will be a BIG seller.

 

I have a couple of Grabber hoods that could use those pieces.

 

How about door skins? 2 door and 4 door.

 

patch panels for the bottom of the front fenders, they seem to rot

ANYTHING related to small bumper swaps will be in big demand. aside from valances front small bumper brackets that fit both 70-72 mavericks and 74-77's woul be really cool. im not sure what bolt patern '73 have but why not drill it out to work on any car?

maybe a repo cowl vent panel but with out the vents in it, just flat

 

The Door skins will have to come from us cutting up a perfect door,,,The plan is make the lower skin for a repair pannel,, also make the door bottom in a 3 peice repair kit,, this is the Idea,, but it is a few months away,,, I would venture to say a complete door skin just might be in the future,,

Keep the Idea's coming,,,, its gonna be a big help,,

Did anyone mention Rear Frame Rails? they rot out where the shackle sits.

 

Hmmm...must be a Canadian thing. I've never seen one rusted out there. Do they use salt on the roads up there?

 

The rear frame rails actually has been a problem for me for 2 years,,, Trying to find a good one for a damaged car I have and want to save.. So it was one of the first things I actually started working on,,, I actually want to make it a tadd thicker for those who wanna race there cars,,, So it is actually something we are going to do,,,just trying to find a good one to copy and make the changes to.

 

im only in DE and they lay it on THICK around here, Im sure its even worse the further north you go

my beater comet is the only car im willing to take in the winter because of that

 

That's gotta suck!
I managed a Midas Muffler shop from 1986-1989 and I could always tell when a car came from up North. EVERYTHING was rusted out on the entire bottom of the car. I hated to see them come in.

 

to see a 25 year old car car round these parts with no rear floor pan in it is pretty common. thats really the only reason i jumped on my maverick when i found it. it had solid pans and 1/4's. remarkable condition for a DE car. the guy i bought it from left it out side but the previous owners OBVIOUSLY kept it in a garage. compare it to my comet of the same age and spent its life in the same area and its like 2 diffrent worlds

ive seen cars the same age with rear 1/4s that were just big sheets of aluminum rivited on and road signs and licence plates crushed down and slipped under the carpet to make up for there being no solid substance under where you stand.

any delaware car over 20 years old that wasnt garaged kept is most likley junk unless you like to do body work. my comet seems to be the only one of my pack thats suffered that fate so i dont really feel bad driving the stake deeper.

something to keep in mind if any of you southern boys ever decide to purchase something out of the north east...

Trunk support brace is already readily available thru any Mustang vendor as a Mustang uses the same exact piece.

 

Actually not same exact ... but the Mustang Piece is a suitable replacement for like $15 each .....

I was gonna buy some NOS Maverick braces until they wanted like $50 each from them .... so I settled for the 68 Mustang Braces for $15 each ... these were in the Yellow car.
