    Awesome as expected. Whew! It's nice to now be retired and let all the other folks have decked out rigs. -Takes the pressure off.

    Well, my computer crashed on Thursday. I hope to be back online in the next couple of days. Sorry, no pics until I'm up & running. Anyway, went to pick up the car yesterday. Finally got it started, & headed for the gas station, cuz I was on "E" (doesn't stand for enough). Ran out of gas. Put gas in it & couldn't get it to start. The starter went out. So, after a $120 tow bill, I got her home. My wife & I started cleaning her up. It sure does look good with all the chrome trim back in place. Hopefully pics in the next couple of days. Damn, I wanted to cruize so much yesterday. Hopefully will have the starter in this weekend...

    Finally got back online. Here are the pictures I promised. The only thing left to do is put the front & rear window trim & wipers back on. I have to order the clips from Autokrafters. I also have to replace the front windsheild (cracked). Otherwise, this is the finished product. Bill is now the proud owner, of a 72 Maverick Sprint...Thanks Bill! Awesome job! Kathy & I love it...

    That looks sharp! (y)
    Have you tried the local auto body supply house for the trim clips?
