    First off Id like to thank member James Lee from Shelby Indiana for the time expertise and hard work he has put into making this restoration a reality.

    This was my fathers car and had been sitting for 20 years. My dad passed away in 1999 and this was his second Maverick. I wanted a daily runner that I could have to make memories with my family the same way I had when I was a kid with my dad and hopefully pass this on the one of my kids.

    So far the mods include drum to disc brake conversion, Inline 6 to 302 conversion, new trans, etc. Picked up a couple grabber parts along the way to spice things up and here we are. The car is almost done, and I cant tell you how incredibly overwhelming it is being so close to being finished and how grateful I am to James for the work and time James has put into making this happen for me. So here is to My fathers Memory and to James for making it happen for the next generation of my family to enjoy.
