    Mr. Hackman


    I have had a similiar picture in my head for some years now. You beat me to alot of it. I have a few ideas left though;) I like most of the original maverick styling cues. FOr instance I love the original tail lights etc.... I have pictured in my head many times the little wings on the rocker. Sorry buti gotta rip you off now because it looks just the way I thought it would. My hats off to you for such a fine example of modern thinking and a classic car being improved:tiphat:

    That is really REALLY a cool project you have going Thomas - you are an inspiration to all us "hobby" fabricators!

    Can't wait to see more! :drink:

    Where did you find 60 LED lights? I have been searching for some for my Comet GT project but havent found any with that many? I even went down to some local truck parts places and had no luck.

    :D When I read Stefans post I got this mental picture of the intellectual professor up at the head of the class talking to his brightest student. :D

    Quote:I've looked at the front airdam and rocker peices for some time and I think once the proper color is on it won't be an issue.

    What's wrong with the color? How did the dash turn out?

    Datsun? that's a new one...............I guess I need more beer :D it looks like a maverick to me, the one Ford should have made :D

    The dash is coming along good I should have some pictures soon. Someone ask about the exhaust, with the jag IRS the exhaust is aready in the center of the car so it's pretty much a staight shot to the bezel
