We had a bit of a slow down in our work schedule and we started on Dad's Maverick last week. The first step was to disassemble and inspect it. We found very little rust but the car had been in a front end collision at one point in its life and not properly repaired, so all the fender to hood to door gaps were off and that needed to be corrected and Victor started on that:
Victor ended up cutting the seized fender bolts off in order to align the drivers side door & fender:
Melissa sent the bumpers out to get a quote for re-chroming and when that quote came in she started to cry! I searched for aftermarket bumpers but they don't make to much reproduction stuff for a 1974 Maverick. So I guess we will have to scratch the money together to have the bumpers re-chromed. We are also looking for a windshield and a gasket. Little by little as our money is available we will get this car done for the King of the hill, its important to Melissa and I that we complete this for him.
