I want your thoughts

I GOT A 73 maverick 4 door. what can i do to it make it extreme
it turns heads already. but i want people to snap their necks when they turn em.

for looks ive just raised the back like.... 6 or 8 inches =)
added a glasspack....or two

but i want to know if you guys have done something cool or always wanted to do something cool give me your thoughts i may use them

ALSO i could use some wheels and tires if any of you guys have some 5x4.5's any size let me know i jsut got the stock wheels and tires.

 

Any pics? Get enough tire to fill those rear wheel wells! With the right back spacing, and after rolling the lips, 295/50-15s will fit, running 275/60-15 myself
What kinda cam do you have? I say if you have a decent one, try running open headers, that'll make 'em snap their heads when you rev it up

 

What did you do to get the rear 6-8 inches higher?

 

Used some stilits as rear shackles! lol

 

put some air shocks in the back and took out a leaf spring or two filled the shocks up. put some struts in the front. i'm not really for sure all the details my buddy is a suspension genouis (i'm not a speller) he's doing the work on it. as for the cam.. um whatever cam came with the stock motor. its a 302 with a c4 thats about all it know i put and new intake and carburator in her she's mean

 

Well,when the air shocks punch a hole through the plate,and your car slams down on the ground...That sure as hell will get peoples attention!
If he was a suspension genuis,he wouldn't be putting air shocks on a maverick or comet!!!
These cars are not built to take them.

 

Tell your friend to take those air shocks off ASAP. They will punch a hole through the car and you will end up paying a lot to get it fixed. Hell, go take them off right now if you can.

 

I think we're gonna need pics for inspiration.

 

Yeah careful about those air shocks! My passenger side rear shock ripped the mount right out from the rest of the underbody and that was from stock replacements! Be careful on those dips! Hmm.. Yeah a 4bbl and a nice aluminum manifold will wake up that 302! Put some long tube headers on it.. I'm gonna assume it's a column shifter with that c4, so you will need Hooker headers bracket 10961HKR to move that slave cylinder

 

by the way im' reading things... i need to take off the air shocks. lol.
this is my first project car so what do you mean they'll punch a hole thru my car?

 

you are correct it was a column shift. and i was thinking about some headers. what size you think i should put in there?

 

Look up underneath where the top of the shock mounts.You'll see a bracket that is bolted to a "plate".Thats all it is a thin pc of sheet metal.With the air shocks supporting the weight of the whole ass end of the car,somethings going to give...and it'll be that plate.

 

so what do you propose i do about it?

 

Quick question...Your buddy put air shocks on a car that shouldn't have them...and He's a suspension genuis...How does he balance tires?Does he take a lugnut or two off and send You on your way?
