    Looks great! Hopefully someday I will have a manual in mine. I was wonderin if I could ask some questions about your seats, like what they are out of, how they fit, and if they are comfortable. And if you have any more pics of them if you could post them too ,please.

    Thanks,
    Ford Guy

    Man I gotta do that manual tranny swap on mine. That one thing in a Maverick that I have never had, all 4 of the ones I have had in the past were all automatics with C4 one with a shift kit and hurst dual gate was as close to manual a I have gotten.

    I wanna tach around 3500 and side step the clutch in my 200, I6 and see what she'll do....

    What's going on at the Speedway? I gotta be in Atlanta for work starting Saturday, but maybe I can get out a little early.

    The blue is Grabber Blue, code 3F

    The white vinyl is every day stuff that any upholstery shop carries. Its really an off white. They usually have catalogs with the material per year and make.

    As far as interior paint, I just took a piece of the vinyl to my paint supplier and he color matched the white.
