    It is dented up....too much to even warrant cutting it off.

    would the drag link and arm from the steering box down to the drag link work on a Mustang II front end in place of power steering? if so how much for both?

    Too many projects, too little time. I have been distracted for the past several months(the power of a woman). I am glad that Ken wants the car. I wanted to finish it. It is the same color combo as my '73 Stang conv. It is very solid underneath and with his skills will be running the streets once again. I'm going back over to help him work on it this coming Sat.

    Hey Craig,
    I have a question. I have a 1970 2-dr. Maverick that I am re-doing. On the front fenders, there is the "Maverick" tag. I've researched alot of photos and do not see it anywhere else. The mounting holes appear to be stamped by the factory. Can you tell me if they have been added by someone or was this factory. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Also, I recently purchased another 70 parts car and, so I will list alot of parts for sale to the members.
    Thanks,
    Jerry Hayes

    Yes...the holes are from the factory.
