Welcome!  I bet all those cars have sheet metal in immaculate condition compared to what I'm used to seeing.  Cool to see somebody else who's into Mavericks.

My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

If your not careful, your 2 T-Birds projects might turn into 5 T-Birds projects like me....lol



LOL. I'm already a der, just not one particular make or model.

I've owned over 150 cars since I started driving back in '78, and right now, I've got 20 cars, drivers and/or projects.

I seem to have alot of pairs....two 'Birds, two Mavericks, two Interceptors,...and if you count parts cars, two Galaxies, two Malibus, and two Malibu wagons.

I see your Mav. has a Grabber hood, is it one? My parents had a grabber when I was a kid, I wanted it to be my first car but they felt differently

A Maverick was my first car. My mom bought it new, handed it down to me. All these years, all those cars, no Mavericks, so, I finally got nostialgic and bought the two to make at least one, and do it like I wanted to build my first one but never had the chance.

Neither are Grabbers, but I've collected most all the Grabber parts for the blue one I'm building a street car out of.

Here's some pics of the Mavs and some of my other projects, until I get the Birds out and photo'd (and these are just the Fords!)

Welcome,with so many great cars, how are you gonna decide which one to work on? My vote is for the maverick,course the bird would hold priority also.
