    Hi everybody new member here. I just started working on my 76 Maverick here in SoCal. The car is a 6cyl 200 with factory paint(old) and no rust. I previosuly owned a few Mavs in Brazil and about a dozen mustangs 5.0. Well the idea is going to small bumpers, 5.0 efi with T5 tranny, bullit 17 wheels and may be a paxton supercharger. I'll probably have a few questions and will make new postings. Here is a pic of the car as it sits now.

    Thank you all!! As far as the paxton adition, I'll probably need to use the same unit as the one used in a mass air 5.0 mustang 89-93 since the engine I'll be using is identical to those, but I need to know if that unit phisically will fit in the car. The rear big bumper came off today and the small should go in tomorrow. The valance and quarter extensions are already there.
