This Maverick is awesome. Honestly makes me want to go out to the garage.

I love all the details and I love the lines.

I have been struggling to find a mounting location for my e-Stopp actuator. The location you mounted your e-stopp in the trunk has expanded my thoughts on mounting options.

Glad I could help, and possibly inspire. On a unibody car it is difficult to find a good location that is safe and out of the way. On my car this was the best option. In the end its just dead space anyway, so it worked out perfect!

Love to see the progression from the beginning. You have really done a lot to that car. I have done a lot of maintenance myself and hope to do build soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

That pattern for the seats is sweet! Very unique. We can't wait to see the rest of it upholstered.

After getting the upper hose tacked and fitted to my liking, I had a friend tig weld it for me. I ground the welds and then had the hard decision as to what to do to it. In the end, I'm a paint guy, so paint it I did.







I also got the trunk sanded and buffed. Installed the chrome striker with the polished washers from Eddie's Motorsports.
