    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....:yup:
