Signing in from Finland

Hi guys! Just wanted to tell you that Mavericks are worldwide! Just bought my first one, '74 with 302 and C4. Im going to transform it to older style and give a little bit more kick to the motor! Love the car already and I havent even started doing it yet! - markus

Welcome to the club. We would love to see some photos of your car.

 

Thanks guys! I will definetily post photos, i think i will open a new thread for that project and keep you updated there.

Sorry for my english language, havent used it for a while

 

Welcome to the site from northeast Ohio!!!!

The best place to post your car's photos and detail are in the Garage section of this site.

Your English writing is a lot better than my Finnish or Swedish!

 

Congratulations on your enthusiastic endeavor ! You have a lot of ' Company ' on this forum . I can't recall a post
'EVER' complaining about owning a Maverick or Comet !... Just a little grumbling when things don't go just great !
Did you perform the ' Leaky Cowl Test ' yet ? Pour a gallon of water into the cowl area grilles and onto the lower
part of your windshield to determine if there are ' leaks ' .. Have someone assist you with this operation .. they pour
YOU look with a flashlight . Hope everything is Dry ! Most of the cowl areas can be problematic on these cars.

Thanks for the tips!

My plan is to do a little patching on the quarterpanels, ditch the vinyltop, swap bumpers and get a paintjob done. For the paintjob I have to remove windshield and rearglass and if there are problems, I can do them before painting.

Looks like I have to use fiberglass parts, as the sheetmetal parts looks a bit pricy in ebay... I found a 70 frontbumper here in Finland (!!!), everything else is to be found.

The car itself looks solid, floors etc. is good.

 

Hello Finn:
Send me an email . I have some parts that would help you . cameocarclub@yahoo.com
