    Yay, I love the site. I bought a 71 mav for $350 and am restoring it, well, not classic resto but poor mans muscle style. Cant weld, cant paint but I thought Id try and see what I can do.

    Welcome. Looks like a fine car. Nice front bumper too! Don't find 'em like that back East. To me, the most fun is learning to do the repairs. Enjoy.
