Poll; What stage are you at with Your Maverick

I'm always a mile from the finish, I'm going to get it driveable with new head liner and glass then take a break for a couple of months....lol

 

I am at the, outta money stage, on my car

 

All three of my Mavericks (well mine and the two that my wife has claimed) are all untouched - waiting for me to finish the Muskrat so I can start on her blue four door.
I did sand my hood and give it a quick spray with C4 Yellow to keep the rust off but that is all. Right now I am spending five hours a day re-writing my book - I have another meeting with the publisher coming up but they don't expect it to be done for six months or so. I am doing good!

 

done and drivable but always doing something to it..........so i guess its not done, but drivable........can i change my answer in the poll?

 

Everyone of ours is in a different stage. From a thousand pieces to finished. Except for the new ideas I'm getting on the finished one. So is it ever really finished?

 

HAHAHAAAAAAAA,,,,,,,,, Wish I could say I even had one....

 

Mine is a drivable project that I'm getting ready for winter work. Underneath I've got a top loader four speed transmission, a 9" 4.11:1 Equal Loc axle and Lakewood traction bars to install along with fabricating a dual Flowmaster exhaust. Inside I have AutoMeter gauges, Monster tach and a headliner to install. The body has some very minor rust to clean up and overall cleaning to do on it.

My mav is just beginning her project life, has had to sit for a while due to some unfortunate unemployment, but now she's getting ready to roll. Getting new starter monday, and about to head to pullapart to snatch up a toploader and the fixins to do an auto to manual swap this winter. Seats out of a 98 sebring convertable to recover and finish up interior, and started wokring on sanding her down and shooting the primer. She's getting paint in the spring and rims and tires in the next few weeks. Long road ahead, but in all it doens't seem that bad at all, just a waiting game for income to get the materials.

On a crazy note, my uncle happened to ahev a set of small bumpers off his old 71" that he "buried" just laying on top of his shed, back bumper needs a good rechrome pretty bad, but front is in amazing shape considering, so i'm doing a big to small bumper swap, and fabricating a 1/4" steel tank cover to protect the gas tank in the event another woman in a white mustang decides to tangle with yet another car i own.

 

mine is a daily driver project with new problems every week

 

Mine is in so many pieces it's pitiful.....

 

Mine looks good from the correct angle and if you squint you won't notice the jack stands. I keep thinking that I'm close then I think...well I haven't put fuel in it yet and all my fittings could leak. Or the brake lines that I made might leak. Or the carb tune may be way off. Or one of a million other issues could crop up. Some day I will just have to get the gonads to actually start it and see what flies apart!

 

i chose project but driveable and Done and driveable except for minor upgrades
be cause it is in a really close to done conditon. mostly it would just need some paint work in the jams of the doors and trunk to be done. i feel the car will never be done. it will get different paint, different motors, different transmissions, different suspensions, different wheels and tires. i plan on chaning the use of the as time goes on from street car, drag car, road race car, etc. so i would say its close to done in its current phase.

 

I'm between 3 and 4. The exterior of the car is done and all the mechanical stuff. It's "driveable" but not legally roadworthy. Since there's is no windshield you can't drive it really far. I still need tires and wheels, right now it has some strange looking snow tires on the rear and just some old tires on the front. The only thing done on the interior is the dash and bolted in a couple of bucket seats. Plan to get the interior work done over the winter. Goal is to be cruisin by the Spring. Gotta buy some more lottery tickets.

 

Windshield and back glass were just reinstalled yesterday after having new headliner put in!! Now I need to finish putting in all of the new weatherstrip kit, and then will be able to wash the dust off and maybe drive it around. From the outside, it looks beautiful! Just don't open the doors and look inside.... I'm not sure how many years it will take before I can aford any more interior pieces. :16suspect Oh well, it's just money..

 

Definitely a driveable project. It's even inspected and everything, just in dire need of some rust removal and a good paint job.
