    Yeah, I am still thinking about what each color would look like on the car. I wish there was a site where you could change the color combos on a Maverick. I know there is one forchanging wheels, and color on new cars, but I couldn't get a Maverick. Anyway, thanks for the comments, and I will let you know when, and what I decide. I have a little time to think about it now.

    My opinion would be to go with the green but paint the stripes and hood treatment in a color that matches your interior color.

    Corbin; Where did you get the 3 point belts, where to order from, and how much do they cost? They look great in the car, and I need some. BTW, car is very nice, good job!

    Thanks guys! The seat belt info is a few posts back in responce to Jayman's questions, but here is the link again: http://www.andoauto.com/retrofit.htm They were $65 each, I believe. Here is more info from the othe post:

    The belts I got from a company called Andover Automotive. The website is http://www.andoauto.com/retrofit.htm The ones I got are universal fit, but they fit nicely in the Mav. I used all stock locations to bolt them down, but if you chose to use different one all the hardware comes with them, except reinforcement plates. I used choice "E" on the website (Retractable lap/shoulder belt with a 2 1/2" offset, which refers to the 3rd point hanger. An 8 1/2" offset is avaliable, but I didn't really like the looks), and ordered them in tan. Since the 3rd point (on the top) is so far back, the only problem it creates is having to reach back for it, but then again, if someone didn't clip the stock ones up, they would have to do the same. Since I didn't use the stock ones, I took out the retaining clips on the side above the door that hold them up, and then had the headliner installed. It cleans it up a bit.

    Hey Danny. From the post above, here is the info about the seatbelts:

    The belts I got from a company called Andover Automotive. The website is http://www.andoauto.com/retrofit.htm The ones I got are universal fit, but they fit nicely in the Mav. I used all stock locations to bolt them down, but if you chose to use different one all the hardware comes with them, except reinforcement plates.

    Hope this helps.

    Man, these old posts keep on coming back! lol. Thanks again for the compliments guys, the car has been "done" for a while. It is British Racing Green. Nope, the carpet is not the correct one for the LDO. I was not a fan of the shag that came in it, so I replaced it with normal cut pile carpet - works for me.
