Sam is right. What you really oughta do is explain to your wife that Mavericks & Comets are the same car, except that Mavericks are better-looking...
: This is going to sound really stupid, and I dont expect you to understand.
: My wife had a 74 Comet that she got from her grandmother. We sold the car
: many years ago and she never got over it, she LOVED that car! I am trying
: to either find her another comet or convert a 74 Maverick 4dr that I found
: at a junkyard (shell only) to a comet. My main question is this: Are the
: tail light panels (where the gas cap is) different between comets and
: mavericks? I noticed a slight difference in the width of tail lights and
: the fact that the comet tail panel seems to have raised edges around the
: tail lights. Is this a fiberglass/composite panel that went over the
: sheetmetal or is it a completely different panel? this seems to be the
: biggest difference body-wise and the only thing that might keep me from
: plunging into this insane adventure. Any input and/or advise would be
: greatly appreciated.
: Thank you
