    I know you guys are probably sick of looking at my Maverick, but for those of you that have shown interest, here's two from this last weekend.

    Thanks Jeremy. It is the original core support that I stripped & sanded & then repainted. The original radiator with a new 3 row core. Did you notice that I cut out the battery vent area of the core support for cool air to enter for the induction system?

    I figured you'd like the color! Since these pics were taken, I have installed the bumper, gravel shield & valance. I still need to install the headlight assemblies, grill, hood latch & hood scoops. I'm still waiting for the plater to finish assorted other gold cad hardware to install this stuff. And the dreaded shock tower to firewall braces! I can drive it now, but I'm sure it will be another 30 days until fully completed.

    Resto pics are cool.

    You might want to start a thread of your own updates (so there will be a chronilogical order of events with pics and updates in one thread). Just keep adding to that one post. just my o.

    Looking good!

    Thats sooooo purrrty!!!! You using a black or argent grill? I'd paint the stone guard that blue too. That would really look nice with a black grill.

    Looking good! Even though we do restorations for a living, it's always nice to see another Maverick or Comet coming back to life in all it's glory. Keep the pictures coming. We never get tired of them.

    I did paint the stone guard body color. The grill will be a standard, non Grabber type, painted argent.
    I had my own restoration shop from 1994 to 1998. Too slow a turn & I did things too cheap to make any money. I gave up & went back to the grind of steady employment.
