    img_0008_original.jpg img_0002_original.jpg img_0008_original.jpg img_0003_original.jpg img_0015_original.jpg Its been a dream of mine for 27yrs now to build a car just like this. My dad built this maverick when I was too young to remember. Im asking anyone and everyone who can help me fullfill a simple dream of mine. Ive got a 70 maverick and a comet with the 302. I need the little things, like the grabber grill, hi-back bucket seats, the single plane intake( i think its a Weiand 7517), and the wheels. I know that a lot of people want most of the same things, but most, only see dollars as resell items.:cry: My interest is more of a emotional pull. This is the car that started my obsession, this car is the obsession! Please any help would be very appreciated. Anything like a phone number, link, or just a suggestion as to how I can fulfill a childhood (& adult) dream would be awsome. Thank you all.
