Picked up my new maverick tonight so it is time to look for the parts I will need to make this car nice! 1. 52.25 in nine inch housing 2. Rt fender 3. Comet Front bumper, aftermarket glass? 4. Grabber rear spoiler 5. Chin spoiler 6. Cowl hood 7. NOS seat insert material Don't know what's available or who makes/offers this stuff so let me know. Thanks, Jeff
1: 52 is kinda narrow, don't know of any fomoco vehicles with a rear that narrow. 2: salvage, or post in wanted section. 3: salvage " " 4: post in wanted 5: no "grabber" front spoiler, but do a search for it, one good looking spoiler is the 70 shelby, covered. in a post by Craig Selvey. 6: MavericMan 7: no help here. The search button will help with a lot of info. Lots of good info on here. Good luck
SMS for the material: http://www.smsautofabrics.com/ Why do you want a Comet front bumper? You'll nee a Comet grill, which won't match up with a Grabber hood.
I thought the Comet front bumper is narrower and a fit closer to the body? Want to use a cowl induction hood but I haven't found where to get that yet either. Thanks on the fabric site btw Jeff
from a fellow 70 owner in Northeast Pennsylvania Look for a 9 inch housing out of a Lincoln Versailles, Granada or a Monarch - late 50's Ford passenger cars worked too Make sure the fender you find has the notch for the gravel guard in the front of it - later fenders did not have this
Unless your bumper is totally missing. Then you will want a 70 - 72 bumper. Bumpers got bigger in 73, then larger in 74. Make sure you have brackets too.
Then you just need to look for 70 to 72 front and rear Maverick bumpers in good shape. A Comet front bumper sticks out too far in the front and will not conform to your Maverick grill and hood. Now a 71-73 rear Comet bumper I believe are the same as your Maverick.
I had my bent and rusted bumpers redone by Keystone Automotive. They send them to someplace in NJ that made the originals for Ford, press them back into shape using the original dies, then rechrome with a lifetime guarantee.
Ive seen pics of some very bad bumpers straitened and re chromed. I think it runs around $300. I had mine done for $250, but it was better to start with. http://smegnl.medina.oh.us/index.ph...rome-front-bumper&catid=35:maverick&Itemid=54
How long has it been since you had Keystone do your bumpers? The last time I mentioned it to them they turned me down. I will ask again though.
