Blue My Mind, 1972 Ford Maverick

I like that billet pass through, who is that made by?

That battery box looks nice, but it seems the terminals sit awful close to the surrounding metal top part? We're sure that we are probably missing something in the equation.

Thanks. I liked the first spoiler too, maybe should have kept it?

So today was an incredible day for me. After all these years of working away on the car I was able to, with the help of my wife, hang all the sheet metal parts. After that I bolted the taillights, fuel filler, grille and headlight bezels on. I did all this to make sure everything still fit as I had planned. It is amazing that no matter how many times you assemble and test fit it all when in primer, the second you take it apart for paint, boom, it does'y fit right anymore.

I am happy to report that other than a couple extremely minor tweaks everything still looks great!

The first, and my most cherished picture is my daughters reaction to seeing it outside when she got home from horseback riding today. I already had it outside, the kid was bouncing in her seat as they came up the driveway. It was priceless. Good thing I have a year and a half before she gets her drivers license. I get to use it for a little while before turning it over to her.



After that, I was able to get some pictures of it when the sun was shining........







I put the dash back in as well as I will need it to line up the stripes when I put the car back in the booth for the hood stripes. Also, this is the console I will be using, but recovering in black.





Don't know if the plate is a better description of the car or her!!








After seeing the car outside I have decided to black out the front of the radiator support. Too much blue showing through for me. Also, the headlight bezels will get painted black.

That car is just stunning! Your daughter is seriously lucky to get a sweet ride like that for her first car!

I really, really appreciate the compliment!! It's tough trying to take an oddball car and bring it to something that I would like to think most people will stop and check out. That is my hope anyway.

It is an illusion. That is the top of the seat back support you are seeing, and it is behind the battery box.

Watson's Street Rod as best I recall.
