    What's amazing about the gas station scene of 3 seconds is that we spent ALL morning from 6 AM until around noon filming the station shots! There was even a petite girl in a green suite (like an alien) running through the gas station with the purple ribbon! I guess she was the Martian from planet Mav?

    I have a bunch of pictures I took that week. I will eventually post them. Looking through the pictures you will see how much was cut, or how much is still coming in later ads.

    Oh, and yes, the gas tank was in the fender before 1969 on this planet. That was until they decided to drop it in the trunk. :D

    I wouldn't want to live in Maverick Utopia. Then half the reason why I like my car would be gone. It's DIFFRENT! ;)

    Wouldn't mind visiting for some parts every once in a while though. (y) Can you just see the junkyards with miles and miles of small bumpered cars? :bowdown:

    And of course Grabber hoods would be available at any auto parts store. :clap:
