    Hey to all the maverick/comet fans!

    I have a '74 maverick that im converting from granny grocery getter to highway flyer. Its bone stock down to the bias ply tires. Got it from the original owners nephew. A little crusty on the edge of the corner panels and battery tray area (big surprise). Cowls dont leak a drop and the floor pans are solid as a rock. The old 250 runs great considering its age. Its waiting for a 302/ T5 swap. As soon as I get the money for it haha. Im looking for a front disc brake set up and the mounts for the v8 swap if any of yall out there have them available. Manual Drums brakes suck....alot.

    Welcome! I've got a '73 Grabber that I'm probably going to part out. It has a lot of what you will want. I'll let you know.
