    Hello, I have a 76 Maverick and also have a mustang II front end I want to put in. The front end isn’t a kit it was cut out of an actually mustang II. I was wondering how I could go about this concluding the frames aren’t the same width. I will get some pics out soon, Thank You.

    Your best bet it to hire somebody to do this work for you. Not a beginner type project. Not a straight bolt in/weld in type of job. Lots of fabrication will be required. And you will be miles ahead by buying a new kit made to fit a Maverick instead of trying to adapt another car onto a Maverick.

    It used to be a drag car and the inner fenders were removed and he made a custom tube to hold
    in the shock towers but they were removed when someone tried to restore it.

    Unless you have EXPERT BUILDING/fabrication skills, you may want to rethink putting time/money in this project.
    Even if the car was given to you, may be better served looking for something not butchered for drag racing, esp,, if planning on putting on the road.
