Is converting to short bumpers.... rediculous, or smart? Or should i convert to fiberglass bumpers? Also, Any ideas on if i should take the vinyl top off, sand down the lil "walls" that went around the sides of it, then re-paint the car a shiney black? or leave it with the blue/white look?
oooh. also, anyone have any suggestions for mufflers? (and not flow masters!!!) DynoMax is the direction im leaning... any ideaS?
The small bumpers look nice and it's easy to do. There's been several posts on this board about it. I like my DynoMax mufflers. They only get loud when you put your right foot down hard.
Keep it! As far as the vinyl roof, and color goes. I would keep it! It is pretty sharp! IMO You don't see many Mavericks with that color scheme and vinly roof!
hehe yea i havent seen many. as for short bumper, i searched and found a post from mavaholic, so if i decide to do it i know how (that is, if i can find all the parts needed hehe) http://www.geocities.com/fordmaverickcentral/smallbumperconv.htm
My $.02 I did the bumper swap, '74 to '73 bumpers. As far as color and the top, keep the vinyl top and the blue. I think it looks sharper than the plain bodied colors. It will be more unique. It's easier to do the swap if you buy a donor car complete. Good Luck-
my thoughts Ithink you should go with the small bumper convesrion,keep the color combo. I have flowmasters on my comet but they were on it when i purchased it so Im keeping em for now . by the way nice looking ride!!!
I have dynomaxs turned down at the axle on my car now, a little low because it reverbs off the ground too much. Dynomax have a decent sound, but in my opinion are a little too subdued and mellow. I have a couple of 2 chamber flowmasters that will likely replace the dynomax.
thnx guys and i probably will convert to short bumpers. the look alot sharper and more sportier to me. And will keep the blue and white now comes the fun part... looking for a donor car with the bumper peices hehe
I put some proflows or flowpros ( LOL) on mine a few years ago and they are so loud I can't even think when I drive it . Maybe I am just too old now
RELIC!!! I might be able to help you. Me and my dad havent gone to our favorite junkyard lately, so now i may have a reason to go. I could get you all the brakets and valances needed. they may not be perfect, but they sure would get the job done with a little paint. As far as the bumpers, I would just buy them rechromed already. If you like we could get you bumper cores as well. email me if you are interested. Russian361@aol.com
