    First i put the black bumper on the back one day i will chrome it but funds dont permit it right now.

    Second i put on my grabber hood :)

    Third i went and visited my friend and he sold me a nice set of 15 inch cragar ss.

    Fourth i met a guy that races mavericks one of his mavericks is 1150 horsepower. Its over 600 cubic inch i forgot what he said he races two of them.

    Looks good. Nice wheels. I always liked the Cragar wheels. They really look good on a Maverick. IMO:)

    Thanks for the kind words. I am gonna get some tires soon so i can put those pretty wheels on it will really set the car off! My next project is chrome traction bars and remove the shackles.

    Replace your rear springs. Your car doesn't look that high with the shackles so I assume your springs are bad. It looks like your rear tires will tuck in the fenders so no need in having it jacked up too high. I have stock leaf springs on my car with stock shocks on the rear. My tires tuck under the fender well. My car is only raised by the size of my tires.
