hi all , it's nice to see that there is a site for us who drive , well lets say not the normal cars ! my friends would say that i have some taste issues in the cars that i build, now i'm not saying that i don't love the Mustangs, Camaro, tri5's etc. but i have also been into not the mainstream type of cars, i have had most of what is out there from a 67 shelby to a gremlin X . so my next project is a 71 Maverick. i hope to get some info on what you guys have done in the past, i'm looking for info on upgrading the brakes, and rear end and i know there are some choices, and hope you guys will share what you have done and save me some down time. this is what i have or should i say will have as soon as i go pick it up from my nephew 71 2 door it used to have a 6cyl but i have a mostly stock 302 and a c4 that will go into it, i would love to have an OD trans in it but not sure what it would take, and to be honest this may be a car that i get on the road and turn it, unless my wife likes it and i can make it her DD. i had a 70 maverick about 30 yrs ago and i loved it so this will be a hard one for me to build and flip, but it how i make my money, all i know is that i would like to build this as a restomod with all the up to date options i can fit on it, and to tell you the truth i have not played with fords much in many years so i am very excited to get started. well thanks again and i look forward to meeting you guys online Henry.
these are not...flipping...cars. as a norm, what you pay to start with is too much, then it's down hill after that....
thank you all for welcome responce, once i have the car at my house i will post some pictures of it and then as i get going, i wish i had the money to take on what i would like this to have but then i might not want to sell it , you guys have some nice rides for sure.
There's a few of us in the Phoenix area on here. We have a thread down in the Other Automotive section that we discuss local stuff. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=78264
