    its_not_safe, welcome to the board, alot great people on here to help you out. Your Maverick looks pretty sharp, I like the interior. The bucket seats look comfortable! What are they out of?

    Wow, what a nice car...

    to get as your first Maverick. I wish my Ethel looked that nice. :) Welcome to the board, and they don't come much more INexperienced than me, and I'm learning a LOT here. Again, very nice car. What is wrong with it, that you feel needs to be worked on?

    My72Mav:confused:


    I can't believe I said I was "experienced." LOL. I hope you all knew what I meant.

    Those seats

    If there was a shot of the seats from a different angle I could tell for sure but they look like later model Honda Prelude seats. Again not 100% on that so lets say about 79% sure that is what they are.
    :)

    its_not_safe,
    That is one good lookin' car. If the body was that good on mine more than half my work would already be done.:clap: :clap:

    safe; I am using 96 Honda Civic buckets. Did you use the Ford seat rails, or the Honda stuff? Also, did you use angle to mount them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

    Earl

    Fort Worth Mini Meet. Sounds like a good idea to me.
