    Hey Derrick, I will take one of those carbon fiber hoods...if your giving them away lol! JK. Maybe later I can get one, we'll see. I've been on the other boards for awhile. I sold you some kick panels off ebay last year, dont know if you remember or not, but you told me about this site and I just now got around to signing up. I know Im alittle slow lol. But its good to be aboard now!

    For me I think the roots style fits more with style I have in mind for the overall theme. I dont know how to explain it but to me it just seems to make the whole engine bay look like a nice tight package. Ive got a little idea book so I can keep track of everything. Next I will have to put pencil to paper and start getting them in 2D. IM planning everything out and making a story board kinda deal so I keep everything on track once I get started with all the fabrication

    Well I found several Mavericks last Friday. One is a 71 Grabber all original and the other is 70-72 standard, both are in the same place. An older lady owns them as well as a hundred other cars. I left my number with her brother that owns a garage across the street from her house, so Im waiting to hear from her. If she doesnt call today IM calling her brother. Wish me luck:bouncy:

    Good Luck!

    Find one for me while you're at it!!! LOL:D :D Seriously, the northeast doesn't see too many 70-73 grabbers or straights ever. Believe it or not Pinto's Volare's and Aspens are quite common out here though for some reason! :huh:

    Nothing personal,, but if I posted that I was putting a 4.6 in a maverick on a fox bodied stang website I would be flamed big time. Best of luck to you.
