    Hey Mav Fans

    My name is Brad I live in Raleigh,NC. My brother was a car customizer by trade and a huge maverick fan. He just recently past away and left me the benefactor of 3 mavericks 1 being a grabber lime. I restore cars as a hobby and normally do fairlanes,torinos and the like. Now I am presented with this new challenge. Any sage advice from members would be welcomed that is why I am here.

    Welcome Brad from a fellow Maverick and Fairlane owner. Are you in the Fairlane Club?

    Thanks Jack. No I haven't joined the fairlane club .I honestly wasn't aware of it. My current project is a 70 1/2 Falcon which is more closely related to the fairlane ,so I will have to check it out.Thanks for the heads up

    Welcome from Northwest Georgia! Sorry to hear about your brother. That's awesome that you can keep his cars. I have a 64 Comet that's similar to your Falcon. I think mine's a little longer? This is a great place to be for information! The guys and gals here are sooooo helpful!

    A '70-1/2 Falcon is essentially a sedan version of a '70 Torino. Very rare (and very cool) as they were only made for 1/2 of one model year.
