    A guy stopped by one day about two years ago and said, "I see you have Mavericks. Want another one?" Said, "Sure."

    A couple hundred bucks later, I had this car a '76 with bucket seats and floor shifter auto - cowl leak, didn't run, rust holes, big bumpers. About two grand later, every piece of brake equipment is new, cowl is fixed, holes welded, new battery tray and apron repaired. Changed the fluids, radiator, plugs, hoses, horn, small bumper conversion (followed the write-up here to do it) and tires.

    I'll have to shoot more pics soon. I've had several Mavericks but this is my first rebuild.

    Just passed the PA Enhanced Inspection yesterday! She's not done but she's legal- I can drive her!

    Yes it does! It's exciting and it makes me wish April would hurry up and get here so I can get back to making her pretty- I don't have a garage and my carport has two other Mavericks in pieces... and it's not heated...
