    post some pictures please. Since you said you have been reading for awhile you probably know there are a few things that most people know about us Maverick owners and one of them is we are a very visual bunch (we love some pictures) most of us are cheap/tight with our money, and we (most of us) like to be different.

    So with that being said Post some pictures, it won't cost you anything and lets see what kind of different stuff you are doing to your Maverick. LOL

    pictures

    I am having some trouble getting my camera to link with my computer. Truth is, i have trouble trying to get my computer to do anything i would like it to do. Pulled the interior out. No rust inside. Found 2 spots. 1 under the batter tray. About 4x6". Small spot LR quarter panel. About 1 to 2" rust crack coming through the paint. Got it running, has a nock. Car sat about 6yrs befor i picked it up. Time to pull the motor see what im working with. :huh:
