    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    ok maybe i'm getting ahead of myself but what is next here.

    first was the carbon fiber cowl hood.

    next was the carbon fiber and fiberglass spoilers.

    just today (like almost a year later) carbon fiber grabber type hoods.

    ok what is next? what is there a demand for?

    projects gotta be done in fiberglass or carbon. either one can still be painted if someone does not like the way carbon looks. carbon just fits better.

    i tired researching around for other materials like aluminum plastic and stainless steal... for example i tired boomerangs and really wanted to do this but.... way too much money! so that is out of the question.

    some interest in the past were.

    1. i was looking into the lower front and rear valances. i know i been talking about that one for awhile too... but i could never get my hands on one. besides i have seen some repos in person and they don't look that bad... or am i wrong here? how has one how does it fit?

    2. i know big bumper guys would be all over some endcaps for the grabber spoilers but i really need someone to cut me up a back end of both corners of a maverick so i can retro fit one up. i need some sort of template before i can do this.

    3. comet guys always want something but there are just not enough of them for me to pound money into something that will be slim and done :x

    anyways i'm open to serious suggestions. remember i really don't want to make something if someone is already doing it especially if it fits good. the hood and spoilers out there we all know fit like crap! so that was an easy one to take on.

    anyways all ears!

    What about making a deck lid with the Grabber spoiler where it is one piece? A kit would be a deck lid and two end caps.

    PM Jamie Miles about the big bumper parts needed for making spoiler end caps. I gave him a '76 that's rusted everywhere except on the tail light panel and those quarter ends.

    I'd like to see some flarings and ground effects and I'd like rear window louvers, but there is probably not enough demand for any of those.

    I would say make me all kinds of stuff for free:D


    I say a trunk lid with spoiler (1 piece) Maybe make it more agressive and some matching end caps.

    A frt spoiler that actually looks good on a mav.Sorry but I think the Mustang ones are butt ugly(sorry guys :yup: )


    Or sport mirriors out of carbon Fiber.

    Seriously though...
    Have you seen the fiberglass gauge pods for popular cars like Camaros and Novas?

    They replace the dash gauge area to allow mounting of aftermarket gauges.
    Maybe something like that with the turn signal arrows cast in.

    Or maybe a Maverick inspired "Rally-Pac" aftermarket gauge tube for the steering column.

    Heck, how about a Mav/Com specific A-pillar gauge pod?
    Even friggin Hyndais have custom fit aftermarket gauge pods available.
    Have you ever seen one that was Mav specific?

    Yeah! What he said. I'd love to have 4" Speedo and Tach and 2" fuel, temp, volt, and oil gauges where the current cluster is now.

    too many problems with trunks... i don't think i'm gonna do that one... they never fit right... too many varables! good idea though! hum JAMIE you out there? calling Jamie!

    for Gound Effects yeah not enough demand... what? you think i take a beating for supporting imports... ...lol!

    funny... free... you crack me up! i'll go down stairs now and print some money up... what you want 20's or 10's lol!

    sport mirrors now that is one... hum i think i might be able to get a line on the mirrors though. think they need to be remote too? i can't do that. are most sport ones for mavericks remote? i know the pass is not. i know base are differant on maverick... heck i think there are like four differant mirrors out there... long base and short right?

    yeah i though about that too...

    the thing is it is much easier for me to copy something that is already around... however the spoilers are differant becuase i can actually have something to base it off of.

    i seen these... http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy01.asp?T1=19020+01&Category=&CatKey=SMUSTANG but i don't think i can get close to that pricing.... i know that thing probably fits like crap too... but... again cost.

    i also seen those replacement bezels for the stock guages. that might be an idea. hum there is not much room in the maverick cluster. ideas?

    would that fit in a stock cluster? never pulled one apart either... how does it mount? got a photo

    Let me see....

    1. Carbon big bumper spoiler & end caps
    2. Carbon front valance
    3. Carbon rear valance
    4. Carbon front bumper
    5. Carbon rear bumper
    6. Carbon doors
    7. Carbon fenders
    8. Carbon trunk lid

    :whew:

    basically what ever you choose to do next, but I would really like to see the big bumper spoiler and end caps get made, maybe even like lance said with a little more aggressive flare.

    How much of the a$$ end of the car do you want? :) I could cut it off through the rear side marker lights all the way around and send the whole rear tail panel/bumper support section of the body to you. I am going to cut the rocker panels off since they are nice, and scrap the rest of the body, but I am in no hurry to do it since I have pretty much unlimited storage..
