    Reasonably priced, wonder how much the shipping would be?

    1972 mercury comet with a maverick front end. It has a 1992 5.0 motor in it.
    that sound like a good idea

    1972 Maverick 2 door.Original V-8 3 spd std shift.Also a 72 one owner Sprint sporting a 351 Windsor
    After I do my car I have a 66tempest/Gto clone to do and then perhaps a 71/72 comet Gt.It is a great Idea though,shipping around the country would be a pain though.

    Dave do you have your 73 up on the craddle or is it down on the ground. I want to see gas line & brake lines , how they are routed. I want to reroute the two lines together on one side of the car, make it alittle neater and cleaner look.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but i don't see on the cradle any way to attach the car if your rear end is out or the front suspension is apart??? Is there any way to do this? The car sure looks nice, especially the underside. Also if i remember right all the fluids have to be out of the car, don't they. Thanks.:thumbs2:
