    Since i have no more money and im going to college my car is finished for now so here are the pictures of it. Plz bare in mind that the paintjob was done by me and my father and it was our first time =)Question also what would you do if u had 1200 dollars to spend on this car. I have a straight 6 with original 8000 miles on it and no time to replace the engine =) Ps im moving to houston so anyone around there want to meet up some time or whatever ill be happy to join in. Might take a few days before i can respond to any questions being asked since i move tomorrow.... O yea the steering wheel cover will go when i get a new steering wheel. =)

    @John
    OPen up a new window and paste each link individually. Angelfire.com prevents direct linking to the photos.

    @Sumo
    I love the paint scheme!

    Wow! Cool car! Great job. Time to make it go fast though to match the great looks.
    That 1200.00 will get you into the land of the V8's if you spend it right.

    Looks good. You & your Dad should be proud. Nothing like a Father & son bonding with a Maverick or Comet.

    If your starting school and have $1200 to spend, start gathering all of the parts to do the V8 swap. BTW I like the style of flames you and your dad can be proud.

    Looks great, why should you apologize for that!
    You and Dad did great. If I find a passenger side
    door handle, you can have it for free. I may have
    one laying in my piles of parts.
    Good luck with school-study hard.
