our 72 Maverick project

Bash, bash, bash...

Experience or not, it's far rustier than I'd ever consider doing even a moderate resto on...

 

hey youre learning so thats okay it keeps you doing something other than chasing women and its less expensive so go ahead and build that rusty car it wont leave you when you run out of money

 

If you stop the rust from getting worse, the patched floors will last for a long time... My 74 was patched with fiberglass mat and rust bullet and when I sold it 7 years later the floors still felt solid....

 

Nice work Don! If you decide to work on the floors or those rusty torque boxes give me a call and I'll give you a hand1 before you do any cutting or grinding cover that headliner and glass with some heavy paper and you'll be fine. I didn't and now I have pitting on my windshield!

 

Thanks Sam, I appreciate it!

 

My 74, has had a piece of 1/4" plywood under the carpet for years, it's actually still there. I took it to a shop once for something, and the guy asked me if I knew.

 

I guess your clothes will be going in the dryer from here going forward, Don

 

I love the headliner. I am moving toward a white interior in my Comet (see attached). Is the headliner dyed or did you order it that color? If you did order it, from where?

 

I ordered it that color. I got it offf ebay from a company in California, the name escapes me. The quality seems good and it fit well. My only complaint is that the ad said tier grain and I got moon crater.

 

Everything is done inside the car, just waiting on the seats to be done. I think I bought just about every interior part available. I replaced the headlight switch, dimmer switch, all bulbs, heater core and made sure everything worked properly.

 

Nice work Don! Is the carpet one piece?

 

Yes it is one piece. I got it from ACC. There was very little trimming. I had 6 tiny scraps that fit in the palm of my hand.

 

I don't car what anybody says. I like it, Don.

 

Thanks Ed. Here are few more pics for you since you dont have Facebook.

 

Nice!!!!
