    Damn thats hard core! Damn they have a concourse Maverick sanction? Don't let me get ahold of that thing. I'll ruin the hell out of it and back half it and cut it all up! But nice job!

    Really nice!! That is going to be one sweet ride!! The buffer on the floor indicates some color sanding and buffing,, looks like glass!! Can't wait to see it in person.

    Tail lights?

    Looks really good.
    Mine is a Comet so I don't know exactly
    what the Maverick tail light holes look like.
    Are they the original Maverick tail light
    holes? They look bigger. Bobcat?


    Are you the one who had the pics of the upholstery
    on the board a while back?

    You have done a nice job.

    Yes, I posted the interior pictures awhile back. I wish I could get this done for the Roundup but I doubt it will be. Too bad it isnt Labor Day weekend like it used to be. The tail light cut outs are larger because I use different tail lights. (they come from that "C" word car) This is a picture of my 77 which has the same tail lights. As a matter of fact, these came out of my Sprint. I have a NOS pair to go back in the Sprint.

    I give up?

    They favor a '69 Camaro?

    What are they from?

    I was in Carlisle a couple of weeks back. Were you there with
    the '77?

    If so, I saw it.

    Yes, I was at Carlisle. It is truly Ford heaven and gets bigger every year.
