    Well guys the Mav is about finished. It turned out better than I expected which is always nice!! We went to the local car show (about 100 cars) and we took second place in our class. We only had about 12 cars in our class and only one other maverick. We took second place which we are very happy with...it was a good time. Anyway, I have to post pics of the car for everyone to see. I couldn't have done it without a lot of help from the people on this board.....Thank you.

    We are hosting the International Mustang (and other Ford powered products) Meet this labor day...I expect to see some of you here!!
