    I was surprised to see as many Maverick specific parts already at RPS. I have bought lots of parts for my cars in the past from A/K and it looks like RPS has prices as good or better than them. I will be placing an order shortly as soon as a couple more of these parts become available...namely boomerangs. :)
    Here's the Maverick parts selection at RPS and it looks like some of the parts are still not listed:

    Inside door pannel pics have been sent,,,, we should hear back soon from the company what the prices will be,,, sent pics of the 1976 Mercury Comet LDO door pannel and pics of the 1970 Maverick mid door handle to see if they could make them and if the colors would be an issue,,,

    Stay tuned,,,Should be hearing back on them shortly.

    Then there is the fan shroud that you need when you swap a 351W in (nudge, nudge ... wink, wink).

    When you do this swap,the fan is a bit higher, and yet the upper rad hose is still in the same place. You have to put a 302 shroud in a little sideways ... :rolleyes:

    Hoping to have some updates on the bumpers this week,,, the small Comet front bumper will be following next week,,, we are also working on the large bumper re-enforcements in steel,,, and will be looking into a composit chrome front and rear for them also,, the large to small conversion kits will be out a few weeks after the bumpers hit the market,,, Boom-arangs will be out around the same time as well,, the new composit front stone guards are part of those soon to be out parts,,

    Thank you
