    Been in the shop 7 weeks ... Now it's ready to put back together. Already ran into several issues ... The front bumper looked good until held up to the rest of the car ... gonna definitely need a re-chrome before I mount it. Also it looks like the rear-bumper brackets I have are from a 1973 Model since they stick out too far. I gave Terry (Hawko) my 1972 Brackets. Hawko ... If you don't need them I'll swap you .. otherwise need a set of 1970/72 Rear bumper brackets from somebody on the board ... Thx ...

    "looking good" when you go to test drive it, bring it to macon, and we will get a bucket of chicken and look it over.
    a guy at work said in a car show a red car is the winner and the rest are loosers.
    yours has got to be the red one...frank...(y)

    paint

    hello,
    the car is great, just like to know where did you get the engine paint and what
    is the color code. i was told that eastwood ford blue is not the right one and you have to get old ford blue but i can't find it so far for my 72 maverick.
    thank you
    joe:clap:

    7 weeks....a tad longer than predicted....but worth the wait. I especially like the correctly painted grabber scoops.
