    Can you post a pic of that coil over bracket? Ive been thinking about running coil overs in the rea r with an increased angle inboard for more side to side resistance. But I havent gotten around to mocking up brakets yet because of this dscf0098_original.jpg dscf0096_original.jpg

    Went to a junk yard to look at 4 Mavericks. Looking for small bumpers and gravel pans, ect. No luck.
    I did find a good guage cluster for $40. I did'nt buy it and now I read that it won't work without some work. Its a 72 and I have a 75.
    I might buy it anyway cause I like the look of the gauges. Plus all my gauges are just sitting loose in there holes. I'm sure you guys know why.

    finally fixed the door glass.
    seems that there's two types of fasteners - white and blue. mix-matching parts of the two doesn't hold too well ;)

    toporangers export brace is next!
