    Here's some pics of my 76 Maverick. As posted on Facebook, car was practically given to me. Interior in great shape, engine is strong, although I hope to drop a 302 in it soon. The bad is the undercarriage. Frame rails, floor pans, inner fenders, you name it rusted bad. I know many say not to bother. But I like the car, so I'm going to do the work. Any ideas on where to start?

    Yes, you will need a garage, for this work will take a while. You will need Tools,Grinder,Drills and a Welder of your own. You might want to take a course in body work! Better have a money Tree,for the metals ,chemicals, primer and paint! Its a labor of Love remember!:tiphat: :thumbs2:

    Lots of work ahead it's worth ? To drop all the money in to it and work, or found another maverick with less work time to think I guess. .Good Luck..in your project
