    Thanks ... appreciate the compliment ... I put alot of hours and $$ to get it to where it is today ... Like I said at the show ... there were some truly beautiful cars out there and I am truly greatful to all the judges. Everybody knows their cars like the back of their hand. We can all point out numerous imperfections or things that we wish were better on our cars. These little things look like big things to the owners because that is what sticks out in the owners eyes. Nobody is more critical of your car than yourself. Nobodies car is 100% perfect but I am honored to have won Best of Show with such serious competition ... Congrats too all who made it to Roundup #12!

    Is the spring on a maverick equal from the center to the front and from the center to the back? Don't know , just thought maybe spring was installed backwards

    If I remember correctly there is no way to mount the springs backwards ... the bushings are completely different on both ends ...
