I'm new here and wanted to say hello! I just got a 1970 Maverick and my daily driver is a 1973 VW Beetle. The 70 will of course, become a daily driver also. It's a POS right now, but I'll be doing a LOT to it and ordered a bunch of things already. I plan on painting it in grabber blue with some nice seats in blue and beige. It's not going to be stock with the paint I plan, but will be a nice daily driver, when it's not raining LOL. You all can laugh, but I love it! My first nice car was a 1970 Boss 302. But honestly, I love this Maverick. I remember one up the street in grabber blue (same as my boss) with c-stripes on it (can't seem to find those on line). Here's a picture of my POS, that I love...
Welcome from north cali, u have a good project there.... good luck with the build u came to the right place for help to
Thanks rusty, bet mine is more rusty than yours? LOL Just had all the rust cut out of the floor pans and new pieces welded in :-D I love my new rust bucket! Thanks for the welcome!
ya my 73 had bondo in the quarters to fill the rust holes.... but my 70 is hopefully rust free.... its been sitting for 6 years untouched.... kinda scared lol
Nice, hope you don't find what I did LOL Mine sat outside in a field here in Idaho for about 17 years. It shows. But all surface rust for the most part so it's all good Nice to meet you from Idaho! Dianne
Oh, I'm the second owner of the car. They told me they hit a snow bank back 17 years ago and when they did that they parked the car in the field and bought something with front wheel drive... Cool to be a second owner
ya my 70 was my first car.... i blew the original engine back in 06 and hope to at least have it running by spring.... hope they did a good job on fixinx the floor pans.....thats one thing i never wanna do
Floor pans are done, had a friend do it so it was cheap. Now I have to get the rest of the rust out of it and spray. I hope yours is good too. My very very first car was a 1962 Ford Falcon, second a 1964 Impala, then the Boss. I miss the old days when you could buy your first car for $75.00 and second for $150.00 - the good old days ahahaha
Nice to meet you Frank! Macon, GA - reminds me of the Macon County Line ;-) We have a partner down in Macon :-D
oh ok i thought they were repaired by the previous owner... have you checked the cowl area for rust..... most people say thats what causes the floors to rust....
lol.... thats good.... i hate rust and everything that causes it.... i see every ones horror sotoys and start praying "please not me''... lol cant wait to see the progress
