    Very nice 4-door! :yippee: Now just take a punch and drive out the pin holding the old shift lever on the column and grind the nub off.

    77 2 door Maverick, 250ci, power disc brakes, a/c,
    thanks guys for the nice comments. it really is nice to have suppport. i know building a 4 door is a little off the main stream but i dare to be different. besides that, i have 2 little girls and a wife who love attending shows with me. 4 doors is sooo much easier with a family.
    the dark green is the original color of the car. i added the seafoam stripes for accent.
    one thing i don't have a decent pic of is the lighting package i've added. there are green rings around the driving lights and headlights, green undercarriage lights, the steering wheel lights and changes color (can be locked on a color if you want),the trunk has white and green lights, and the hood has green lights from the top with white halogens lighting up for the front low area. it really glows at night. i will try to get some pics of it and post them.
    maverick73--- yes alot has been done in the last year. all the afore mentioned lights as well as the engine chrome,battery relocate, and custom switchs. i got tired of part-time showing me up with his car so i had to kick it up a notch.
    dkstuck--the color is standard florida white with green. (just got lucky on that one). yes i do have fun showing the plate off to the people who underestimate what these little cars can do. the engine is appx 360-370h.p. even with the stock rear it will get up and go especially when i take it to 2700 rpm's to launch. it has a 3000 stall converter in the built c-4. builder says it is good to about 450 h.p. 355 posi rear end to come as soon as funds are available.
    maverickmatt--- thanks for the props. i took 1 1/2 coils out of the front and have the four leaf springs in the rear. the front rims are also 1 size smaller. 14's up front with 15's in back. when i started the car was nose high even with the v8 in it. looked horrible. had to go
    B.T.W.-- i love your avatar. where did you find it?
    look forward to meeting some of you in the future. hopefully i can make a roundup in the near future. virginia is just a little too far. if it was still in kentucky i might have been able to work it out. maybe hawko and i need to get together and submit a proposal to hold it around the florida /georgia line soon? we will have to work on that.
    later
