    :bouncy:Take a look at Larry Winter's Maverick, it went from this to that, how amazing is this. Just think this lucky ol' Maverick could have ended up in Maverick heaven but instead Larry had the vision to see past the rust and dirt and make it come to life and on the road again.:clap:How great is that. Remember - save em', don't scrap em'. Long live Maverick's and Comet's.(y):drive::burnout:

    Thanks Guys, It was alot of work and more work to find all the parts.
    A good friend of mine owns the bodyshop in Oakville, Ontario called Budds, so big thanks to him and his crew.
