    Hello, I'm a new member from southern California. I went to "Fabulous Fords forever this year and out of 2,000 Fords I only saw 5 Mavericks. I've always liked to see something different at car shows. I like 32s and Mustangs but they are pretty common.

    I found my 70 Maverick grabber in San Diego. I'm installing a TCI front suspension and disk brakes, 3.50 rear end. 5.0 roller engine and a new interior and paint.

    I have a lot of work to do but most of the parts are on hand and i've finished the welding and fabrication on the front suspension. This forum is a good resource for information and parts. I'll post pictures as I progress.

    Thanks guys
