    Hello everyone, im J and i juz bought a 1975 maverick 4.1 250 six. Was a lil skeptical of the inline six but after looking over my purchase realized it a pretty straightforward engine to work on especilly with little credible knowledge or experience. Over the last week i have reffered to the forums many times to get a better handle on the :)mess ive made. Now first she is old as in will take a moderate amount of work 2 be fully restored,but i figure i can get her bak 2 road condition nd continue to do repairs and mods. So far ive removed the pastic dash piece and bracket, and started to remove the bench. She was involved in a fender bender so the grille was done, the bumper is slightly twisted on the pass side the bumper frame supports need to be outright replaced and there are a couple of problem rust areas also have no power steering wil start replacing hoses and belts to diagnise and eliminte problems. I need som help though i need to know if a same era mustang radiator support will fit as mine has a slight inward bow at the bottom from the collision and where if possible i can find replacement supports to slide into the frame and where i can get my bumper cleanex and reshaped or a vintage bumper altogether i will post pics soon but any help i can get from you guys and gals would be greatly appreciated. Im mechanically inclined and can handle bolt on applications

    Just make it to 10 posts and you'll have your permission to post photos - I think it's designed this way to keep one time posters from spamming :tiphat:
