    Did you meet Todd (Supermav) when you were down there? He's a member on here and a great guy that has plenty of Mav parts.

    I was kidding... my grandfather owns a 1967 fairlane. Which he has left to me in his will (y) I hope to hell I never have to collect on that though.


    You know, it could of been? I will msg him and find out. My grandfather, who lives down in Lewiston actually introduced me to , the fellow with all the maverick parts. I can't honestly say I heard his name. :oops:
    Seems there are maverick guy's everywhere, I wonder how I didn't even hear of this car till 31 days ago.. :16suspect

    found out that the outside tie rod ends that connect to my 68 mustang spindles are too large to fit in the hole. now i have to get 68 mustang tie rod ends (outside only) to see if theyll match up with the mav tie rod ends (inside). if not hten i plan on opening the hole a milemeter or so, nothing drastic.
