Blue My Mind, 1972 Ford Maverick

[Boss 5.0]

Brought the pieces home from the booth today and assembled them. New gauges and custom indicator panel all now installed in my home made steel gauge panel. In the lower dash panel I made i then installed the ignition switch with matching keys, wiper and headlight switch. I bolted on the black dash pad I have been saving for this project and then installed it all in the car.

I am so happy with the look and how it all came together. Its almost like I planned it that way!! Lol......

Glenn, that looks killer!

It appears you will be using a Ron Francis wiring loom?

As of now I have not picked a wiring system. I bought these parts a few years ago when starting the fabrication on the dash as I needed to know what size holes to drill.

So many choices for harnesses I need to do some shopping and see what I want.

Id say keep the posts coming. Refreshing to see a car many would pass by or not want. You are doing a fantastic job, love the paint and the details. Heck, I never though anyone would make carbon fiber parts for this car.

With the lower valance painted, I sanded it all down and prepped it for the stripe design I am going to do on the car.

Here is it on the car getting the tape just right.....



sanded, taped and based the stripe color, which is only a few shades off of the body color.


Unmasked and cleared.....




For extra durability I used a Ceramic clear when reclearing these parts for the last time.





And final assembly, now just to put it aside until it is time to bolt it on the car for the final time.

Bottom of the hood in sealer, then base.....




And with matte clear. This is the final look for the bottom of the hood.



With the bottom of the hood all masked, the topside got final sanded and ready for paint. Here the trunk lid and the top of the hood are in sealer, then base, then clear.

That really POPS!

I really like the stripe!

Great work as always, Glenn. Your paint work is so smooth after spraying.
