Well folks.... It has been a long time and I guess an update is in order.

2020 came and went with a thud. And with it a lot of changes for me and my family. First off, PPG decided to close the training center that I was an instructor at. I can't put words to how much I LOVED that job. Everything else will be just a job after that one. At the end I had to shut the place down, and thus ended my career at PPG. I now work for a really great PPG distributor.

With all the changes I made the decision to sell the Maverick! Long story short, I had been chasing the purchase of a specific 1951 Chevy truck that was down the street. It had sat for about 20 years, and for the last 10 or so I would stop every once in a while and chat up the old timer. Last summer he finally decided it was time. With only so much room and money though, something had to give.

I decided I didn't want to deal with buyers and tire kickers. So I contacted RK Motors about consigning with them. I wanted more than they thought I could get. Tough part of building a unique toy is there isn't anything to base the value on. At the end they did a great job and were easy to deal with. The cars listing went live on a Friday at noon, and by noon Saturday it was under deposit! Funny thing, I don't even miss it. I had a blast with it, but I LOVE the build process and am right now in the middle of the truck and am having a ton of fun.

Congrats on selling the car. Good luck with the truck!

Sorry to hear about the job change, I hope the new one has undiscovered upsides.

This is hands down one of the coolest Mavericks ever built. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the build. I’m sure I speak for everyone on here that we’d love to see your truck build if you’re able to post about it. I have a particular soft spot for the ‘47-54 3100s!

Thanks for the update!

Are you going to do a build thread? I'd love watching this one go together, I really enjoyed the Maverick build. Good luck with the new job.
