    Weeeeeell, me and jeff have been talking it over, and we both decided that he would regret selling the maverick. Sooo he is gonna keep the car in my shop next to my maverick, and we'll work on them BOTH whenever we get spare time. We have primered the whole car to make it easier on the eyes........and that seems to help everyone's feelings out!;) Anyway, just thought we would update y'all on the maverick transactions. :D Preston

    Did you make a profit on the car when you sold it back to him?:evilsmile

    JK you did him a favor by talking him into keeping it, he would have regretted selling!

    That's what I was thinking. I was really only buying the car so it wouldn't get away from us. But I knew that he would regret it, so I just kept hinting about things that he should do to it..........and he broke. :D I'm glad he kept it too! Preston

    Glad you decided to keep it, Jeff! Is this that same blue 69.5 you posted pictures of a long time ago?

    It is the same 69.5 that was rusty and blue. I primed it so it would be easier on the eyes

    Frank, they are 41's thank you- and you know they're gonna be chromed. I decided I wanted to have the biggest, baddest wheels on the block- you know? They will be going on my maverick after I slam it and paint each panel a different color......:D Preston

    Easy come, easy go. Think the shackels may be a bit too much though.
