    as of yesterday its been one whole year since I joined this group and 1 year since I brought my Maverick home for the first time. Best $200 ive ever spent. I really havent got as much done to it as I would of liked to, but i did get a little side tracked during the nice summer months with other projects :naughty: I did get a rust free hood and trunk on it, worked out all the mechanical problems so its definatly running like a champ now. many new ignigtion parts, rebuilt carb, gaskets galore, heater core, p/s pump and alternater and plenty of other little bits and pieces under the hood. worked out all the problems with the break system. pretty much everything but the metal lines themselves is brand new. didnt do much on the interior. I did manage to find a really nice original vinal bench ($20) to replace the torn up fabric one. now i dont have to have that spring poking me :thumbs2: Also pulled that ugly vinal top off, still have to grind down the revits though.

    I also want to think every body whos helped me along the way and everybody whos going to lend their support in the future.
