    Pretty good book
    Along with Derrick's car there are a couple of other Maverick's shown in there. One of them is Radmav's 76, which is on one of the pages in the back of the book (memory says 252 but sometimes I don't trust my memory) It is in a capture of a webpage.

    I didnt know if ours was in it or not, the author (Tony) contacted me a long time ago for info, but I didnt think he used any of it. the last I'd heard from him he said that he didnt use much ,....so whats there or isnt is news to me.


    ...and its a 77 allen(y)

    Restomodding Fords....

    ....I have been reading more of this book. I learned a bit more today. I didn't know that some of the big/mid 70's Fords had coil spring rear suspensions. I have not been around many of those and didn't know they lacked leaf springs.

    Good book. I highly recommend it.
