    I have a 76 Maverick 2 door and I’m looking to buy a new firewall as it needs a new one. Anyone know where to get one?

    You might contact by private message on this forum. Finding a complete firewall will be a challenge.

    Best way contact Craig is by email and you might try Maverick Restoration page on FB.
    You might post some pictures of what your dealing w/ in realm of replacing firewall.

    Also be nice to know how much rust there is in the rest of the car. If you have enough talent and or money, anything is possible.

    So why do you need a firewall?

    Person before me had a giant motor and trans because he drag raced it and was working on restoring it a cut part of it out. I can’t complain because I paid practically nothing for the car.

    Get a donor car. Who knows, it might be better than the one you have. Either way, plenty of parts. Shipping a firewall would be expensive

    Just me but a former race car that's been cut on is not a good restoration candidate unless it's highly desirable, big money car. If I were in your shoes I would do a custom, smooth firewall and call it good.
