    Here's a few pictures I snapped today after I got home. Last week was a looooong week for me. The car has light rust damage on the front end, the worst of it is the mounting area for the lip chrome is rusted out. also, the roof will need a bit of sanding. I forgot to add last time that it has AC. Look for more pics in my gallery after I get off my butt and put them in. I'm puzzled at the varying degrees of trim options this car seems to have. there's more chrome inside the car then there is on my LDO which struck me as odd. I really dig the ford motor company hub caps. Sorry if this is disjointed. As soon as I finish this post I'm going to bed.

    Thank you all for your encouragement. I've got fairly big plans for this one. I'm glad to finally have one for winter and one for summer. (The green one is getting prepped for winter use by the way.) I look forward to going through the process with you guys!

    Congrats on the find!

    You've gotta have a dream to make a dream come true! Looks like you found one.

    Of course, sometimes they turn into to nightmares. It is all part of the Madness, you know. May you have only sweet dreams!

    thanks again for all your well wishes. here in not too long I'm going to be diving headfirst into working on both Mavericks. I've been one busy bee lately. Whenever I get started finally I'll keep you guys up to date with more pics.
