Hey guys, thought I'd share some pics of my progress. I'm just waiting for a radiator and a fan and she's ready to rock. It took about 4 months to build.
damn dude nice work! talk about a sleeper. throw some hub caps on it and they wont know what hit 'em! godda love those walmart bench seat covers lol do i see the reflection of a white maverick in the front of your fender?
Thanks guys! Yeah that is the Smav in the reflection (RIP). Speaking of tower braces, I was going to run the Total Control tubular braces. Does anyone know if the Falcon or Mustang versions fit Mavericks?
awesome car man.... ...the only bad parts about so-calers is there cars are so great, i'm in the little league compared to these guys. i think the stang ones are too wide..i know the 66 falcon one is two inches bigger i measured one But you could always modify them
cool nice! that car back halfed? looks like it in the photo. dennis made a mustang one work... here is link to where i put it up on my site. http://www.maverickman.com/BraceConversionInstall.html
Thanks Derek. It's actually sitting on stock suspension. Calvert leafs with 1-inch lowering blocks. The tires are 275/60/15s I believe. I also have some M/T wheels for it, but I think I like the DragLites better, it fits with the whole "Mexican rocketship" aura the car's got going. I was going to black-out the hood (Grabber style) too, but now that I look at it I think I'm going to slap a cage in it and call it good. I definitely am going to do the 1-piece braces. I have a feeling the tubular versions from Total Control will be too tough to modify decently.
MPG Heads in Colorado offer the tower braces also. I believe guys are using the Falcon kits and modifying them for the Maverick/Comet www.mpgheads.com
man, I wander away for a few days, and this thing pops up! Smav, it looks great! Glad to see it ready to roll. (singleness has its privledges, huh?) lol
Thanks Octavian, it's been a mad thrash for months. Let's get some rules together for a heads-up Maverick shootout for the "King Maverick" title! I'll need the leave though....
