    Hi everyone. My first car was a '73 Maverick, and like many 16 year olds I destroyed the I6 engine in no time and parked the car in the back yard. There it has sat for 11 years now,but no longer. The car was a gift from my great grandmother who is now 93 and in poor health. I have decided to resurect that old beast and see what I can make out of it.

    I live near winston salem, NC. I will try to post some pictures of my car when I figue out how.It has a long way to go, but when I'm done she will turn heads. The funny thing is I am a car salesman and because of the area I live in I have been reduced to selling Chevys. I hope you all can forgive me for that. My biggest goal right now is to get one of my Ford projects on the showroom floor at the Chevy store I work at.I have my '73 Maverick and a '66 Fairlane 500 four door with 64,000 miles. Don't think I need any more projects for a while. Atleast thats what my wife says.
