[Maverick]

Some of you know about the name, some of you dont, so Ill make a quick rundown of where this name came from.

Last year I bought a 1977 Ford Maverick for $200, this is how it looked when I drove it home:

After driving it around for a while people started asking me "Why a Maverick? Why not an older Mustang?", the reasoning behind owning a Maverick is because you go to a car show you'll see 50-60 mustangs that looks exactly the same...bleh...where you're lucky if you see a few Mavericks, if any at all...some people Ive talked to thought it was a Nova

Anyways, I started working on it...here are some progress pics:

After I got a lot of the body work done and interior work I threw it in primer(also got me some new wheels, front ones were waiting for tires).

After a while I got tired of the primer, that and someone told me leaving a car in primer will hold rainwater, so I through a quick temporary paint job on it

Now that its winter Ive torn it down and going to replace the engine with a 302 (tranny thats in it now is bad), Im also going to hide all the wires and re-do the entire engine compartment.

Not much of a Ford fan, but that's a nice little project you got there.

I'd plop a 351 in that little pony.

I would if I could afford it...lol for now the I6 has to stay there.

Even to convert it to a 302 would cost me about $500 in parts, a lot of money when you have a family...Ill get it done eventually.
