    Was searching the web and came across this 70 Maverick. Not sure if it's been on the site before, but it sure is a nice looking car and I love the front airdam/splitter and rear wing.
    The last part of the article kind of sums up Hot Rodding.................."At the end of the day, it never really makes any difference what brand motor is under the hood, but instead how a car like this makes you feel"...................IMHO

    Bryant! You are an automotive GENIOUS!!! That wing will flex and change shape with speed causing a more dramatic downforce!

    I wonder why nobody else thought of it first! :rofl2:

    that is definately a hot rodders type of car.. but the thing I like the most is that massive wheel/tire combo!

    I'll eventually chop mine up and flare the wells so I can approach those sizes as well. Course.. then I'll need to up the power by about another 40 horses or so just to overcome the drag and rolling resistance they create. lol

    I had those racks on a Nissan Sentra, and they were priceless!!!

    I hauled surfboards, plywood, canoes, and anything else I had to transport tied to the top.

    I traded the Sentra for a truck and never looked back!

    Don't forget about all the added "unsprung weight" that those massive tires and wheels will have...............................:biglaugh:
