    Hi all, i have been lurking around here reading for a while now. Two weeks ago we finally got a maverick. Thruth be told a good friend gave it to me for next to nothing. It has some rust in the quarters but the rest of the body is savable. The floors and unitbody is very clean. The 6 cylinder runs good and the insides are very clean. The wife wants to drive it the way it is. But once I get my torino back together it wil be time to fire up the welder bend some tube and build a little monster. I can't wait! Thanks for the site. Have fun, John

    "Some rust in the quarters" came as standard equipment in the Maverick - it just takes 40 years to get out :rofl2:
