    What's up people?

    I recently bought myself a 77 maverick from a friend. Car originally came to the 2nd owner from San Jose California estate sale. had 21,000 original miles in 2002. garage kept it's whole life. The beauty is clean.

    factory 2 door 302 car with white soft top. has stock rear end, paint and stuff. Rolls on 68 mach1 wheels and has different heads,cam, intake, carb. thing is slooow.. bought it cause of its sexiness. just a hawt car.

    anyways I'll be asking some questions as there are a few things that are killing me about this. as I have no clue becuase this car was made way before I was born. oh ya. my user name. I have a notchback fox RealStreet car and a 93 cobra. the notch has a 289 Hi-po block er and stock 289 motor :uhoh:

    Immediately this mav needs to be converted to 70-72 bumpers. gawd they hurt my eyes. and I'm hopin it can easily be converted to a manual rack and pinion steering.
