New guy, S.F. Bay Area. Maverick road & track car

[510madmav]

Hello, I'm building my first car into a road race/ autocross car. It's a 1973 Ford Maverick. I bought it my sophmore year in high school, that was 6-7 years back. At this point in time, the rust repair is near completion, and the car is completely stripped, and gutted. & I just recently started the cockpit, equipped with Coleman reverse mount hanging pedal assembly, Kirkey intermediate aluminum seat, collapse able steering column etc. I've installed Maier racing subframe connectors, and x-brace so far, for the chassis. Plans for a cage, custom front susp..probably adjustable double-a frame coil over, & for the rear a 3-link coil over . I'll hopefully be doing some of the work, at the shop after hours for a few weeks. Mike Maier -my boss, Is a wealth of knowledge, with loads of experience, I learn more and more about geometry, theory and straight up better fabrication skills, every single day as I apprentice Mike, on the chassis building level.. Now, I'll show you how I've been applying All of my new knowledge to my Maverick.

Welcome to the site.

If Maier is your boss learn as much as you can. You can do some serious sheet with 1/3 of his brain.

How long have you been there?

I started the 1st of the year as a fabricator / production welder. Believe me, I do my share of brain picking.
