And to think that back in the day, driving a street Maverick meant that you were driving Dad's car.

Just gotta get those inner fenders / shock towers in now and we're home free for the final assembly phase. This is EXACTLY what I was shooting for. The only thing that has me bothered is an excessive angle on the engine. I've got a couple of ideas to iron things out a bit. On the home stretch now....

Thanks fellas!! I'd love to get my hands ahold of a 1:1 Maverick. I helped my buddy build a Fairmont. They were a Fox body car, so pretty much anything from a Mustang would interchange. 351 Windsor, port injected, 5 speed, Cobra disc brake axle. Looked bone stock square box 2 door sedan, except for the rubber and dual exhausts. Went like hell as you might imagine, you'd have loved it.
I feel old.

Just a little closer today but has taken alot of work to get this far. I had to redo the throttle linkage twice at the intake due to weird angles I had with the linkage set up. Got it all straightened out now. Also added a PE radiator cap for a little extra detail. I'm back to having to work with the hood just a tad to get it to close fully but it shouldn't be too big of a problem.

After looking at this thing a little more I just felt that it really needed a throttle spring to bring the whole linkage assembly to life. There....much better....
