    The Maverick got its picture taken at the local car show this weekend by the picture man. It needs somemore work but its driveable now so I'm happy.

    We're at Foothills Mall in Maryville every Friday night weather permitting for the people that live near Knoxville Tn.

    Thanks for the complements.

    The spoiler is from a firebird early 80's model. I think mine is an 86-87 because it has the third brake light. I started to take the brake light off but it supports the middle of the spoiler where I'm used to pushing to close the lid. I will have to take some more picts tomorrow.

    That was the cheapest paint job I have ever done. 7 cans of primer from wally world and 4 hours of my time.

    Frank did you get the picts from the web?

    The shock supports that go from the firewall to the shocks were on it when I got it so I think they are stock. It was a 6 cly car if it matters.

    I had painted the spoiler and end caps before I painted the car, thats why they are a different hot rod black.

    And now the gauges. I tried the blue 194 blubs and they are not bright enough. I ordered 194 leds but I'm still waiting on them.

    The car has more that 683 miles on it. I reset the milage to zero when I rebuilt a roller 302 and installed it.

    more around knoxville. Time to have a little ET mini meet.
