Opinions please.

Well I have made a 100 percent commitment to start the second Restoration actually a restomod on the "BADMAV" It all begins August this year.

They say peer pressure can be bad but in this case I think it is great. YOu guys have upped the bar so much in the past year or so I think I have finally come up with a fresh idea and look for my mav.
Just a few ideas I will go with

A pop open gas cap but not in the rear tail panel think old Dodge challenger on the passenger quarter. I will make some ground effects(nothing gawdy just something to compliment the natural lines) I will also use the rear spoiler from a dodge challenger I took some measurements and it looks like a good fit with a minor narrowing. The Grabber hood stays it is just perfect as it needs nothing to help its look. I want a road race set up and will incorporate the shelby drop with global west tubular a arms. A rack and pinion set up. 17 inch upto 18 inch rims. I am thinking Crager SS again but in the new all aluminum design. I may go as far as a mini tub to accomadate the biggest meats I can get back there. Paint will be Azure Blue as used on the 03 Mach 1s maybe a little pearl mixed in. The side exhaust will stay, I like that road race look remember. Interior will be custom but not overdone. My brother is really good with carbon fiber. Motor is undecided I have a spare 351w block but do not want to get too nose heavy. I think a Custom grill Some what similiar to Blown76s. I was entertaining the idea of a T-Top maverick but not really my thing maybe one of you guys can take thatball and run with it. Anyway just some random thoughts. Opinions welcomed.

sure thing,..... go for it

gotta watch that peer pressure, it can be a mighty powerful force:evilsmile

 

Sounds interesting.
Concept sounds good.

 

I say drop a V10 in it while you have it apart...

 

Big inch stroker with an aluminum block and heads

 

Sam That is your idea and I don't want to steal your thunder. However Sam my Mav Brother from another mother I will help you accomplish your dream anyway I can. I have been looking for a v10 for you at the right price. Hard to come by though and most of the ones I have found are way over priced IMO. Someday Sam I know you will make it happen and as always Im here if you need an extra hand or two. Thanks all for your responses and encouragment. This will more than likely consume the next 2 to 4 years of my extra income and time. I am very focused on doing it my way no matter the cost,time,or money. I love mavericks and I love being one. :bananaman Still looking for more opinions and advice from the rest of you fine maverickers. So dont be shy.

 

g-machine eh?

everything sounds great but no t-tops

big wheels getting catchy i see, you know what i takes have you seen the new PHR? its got a 68 mustang with the larger cragars on it... i don't know.. they look good off the car then when i saw it on that mustangs something didn't look right? maybe too bling? check it out let me know what you think or if i'm just crazy?

 

That sounds plenty cool to me.. I always like the road race look.

Sounds like a plan, have you tried putting your thoughts in a drawing, maybe a mockup on paper?
I say go for it and Good Luck!!!
Sam's got this V-10 thing on the brain, I'd like to see the shock tower mod on that one.

 

go for it......i like the challenger spoiler......and the idea for a charger top mounted gas cap sounds awesome.....hope it works out for ya

 

Lance, sounds good. The biggest thing is just do it "your way", and you won't be disappointed. I say go for it!

 

sounds great, don't forget pictures. i like t-tops thought about that one also. good luck

 

Sounds great, I too am going after that road race look! You seem to have some of the same ideas as me.

 

Great minds think alike

 

Not sure about the "great minds" part here. Geting older and wiser but not always smarter.
