    Replaced my radiator overflow tank (an antifreeze jug :) ) with a billet aluminum tube overflow tank.

    1972 came home from the shop one last time today. Assembly at her final resting place will continue. Lot's of bad luck got her back in the paint shop for over a month. More $$$$ . Long story which I will post details later along with some questions. Getting there slowly and hopefully in time for spring melt.

    The rear spoiler looks custom, did you fabricate it?

    Yes, that is a modified stock rear spoiler. Cutout 1/2 the pipe diameter and welded in a metal rod to create the lip. The idea came from this forum, someone with a light blue Maverick if I remember right????.
