Guy, I'm glad Alan suggested you post this build as it's also outstanding!

Give some thought to the book idea and keep posting.

Hi Glen,

Thank you. This one wore me out since I haven't done a major job like this since the McLaren. The doors with the side window frames were a real pain. The inner door panels are scratch built including the levers and arm rests. The car is set up the way the actual cars were. Spring towers moved out to accept that SOHC. That engine compartment is all scratch built. And oh God, those headers....

Gorgeous job Guy!! I’ve been digging through my parts box trying to find the right size slicks for my build. Where did you source your slicks from? They’re exactly what I’m looking for

GoodbuildNY,

The slicks are from the Revell Stone, Woods & Cook or the Mazmanian Willys. Yeah they work out OK. Wheel opening is a little large. If you have a problem with your wheel choice sliding around in the slick, you can run a strip of .010" sheet plastic on your wheel. That should fix the problem.

Thank you,

Guy

Okay, was just going to start a Maverick build of my own...

FANTASTIC!!!

Will most likely steal all your ideas.

Can we see a view

from the underside ?If you don't mind

No way, keep going, you have pure inspiration to move you forward !

STYRENE-SURFER,

I post the pictures of my builds to show what can be obtained through some work, not to deter others from building. That is not my goal. Please grab that Mav and build!

Thank you for your compliments, and steal away!

Guy
