Hi all! We took in this 1969.5/1970 Maverick a few weeks ago. The paint on the car was original and it was in pretty good shape. It was just a little "tired" from 40 years of dings, dents and "war wounds" as the customer put it. This car is a daily driver but will be going on the hot rod power tour! It has a custom built 302 V8 bored and converted to a 343 stroker by PHP Racing (currently out of the car obviously). It will also have a Tremec 5-speed transmission. Our body guy Bill is putting a lot of love and care into straightening all the panels out. Here's some photos of the car so far:
This is what the car looked like when they dropped it off.
Not bad for 40 years old!
Bill starting to sand off the old paint, down to bare metal
Glazing, filling and sanding low and high spots begins
After many hours of glazing, filling, sanding, etc. They start masking the car for primer
Here's the car with it's first coat of primer.
The primer will then be blocked/sanded and re-applied
Check back soon!
