    I finally got both of em together at the same time and place...I just got the street Mav back today after taking straight to the mechanic from the Roundup.
    I may be presumptious in calling it a Beauty,,,,but the other is definetly a Beast;)

    Sweet! Man Rick, if I ever want a project to go from an idea to reality in a hurry, I'm going straight to you. Two awesome cars built in such a short amount of time. Great work!

    Preetiest beast I've seen. Two awesome rides, for sure.

    What was the outcome with the head issue with the white car?

    We ordered the heads pre-assembled Wes with 135lb springs...they came with 95lb. springs and we didn't check them before we installed the heads, we ass-u-me d they were correct:slap: ....it's a miracle I didn't drop a valve after the way I dogged it at the track.

    Looks good. What are you going to do about that purple hybrid?
    Do the shelby taillight conversion and leave it looking like a Maverick
    or change the front with a Comet hood, grill and bumper?

    If you need a Comet grill, I have one that I am repairing to sell. Has
    a broken tab that won't be a problem to fix.
    Call me.
