    and for those wondering where the hood is... right here! Just a bit more sanding and I will paint it in a couple hours. What a pain this hood has been in repairing, Major rust, which I am going to post the complete repair sequence with pics. Top side of the hood was dinged, dented and warped. It is going to be black, so we will see how good I did.

    BLING-BLING Love the wheels! Makes the whole car look great. Good luck with the hood. With black, you'll know if you did the job right.

    All I can say is WOW!!! What a difference those bumpers make. (sorry big bumper guys) I remember going to look at the Stallions when they first came out. I thought they were the most hideous Maverick made with the flat black and the bumpers. After seeing yours a couple of years ago with the gloss black, I really like the theme. And now Its just gorgeous.

    Thanks everybody,, I am still busting my butt trying to get stuff done. The wheels are fr 17x7 and r 17x8. I wondered if the later model grill would look out of place with the small bumpers, it works out fine. I have the hood on it now and just got in the house to cool off for awhile. 91 degrees here and waaaaaay too much humidity.
