    Roland, come back to my house...you are more than WELCOME to weld on my car! That is GREAT work! Can't even tell there was a rusted hole there.

    By the way...two things...1) you lose motivation in your mav WAY too easily. Decide to finish it, and DO IT!!! No double thinking yourself, and no trying to sell your stuff off. I took you for a ride in my car just to re-motivate you, and two weeks later, you have it all up for sale...in my book, you owe me gas money for that ride if you don't finish your car :mad:

    2) I just finished my third :drink: and forgot #2...

    oh, yeah, #2--I drove through Dickinson yesterday (hwy 517 to 146) and saw 3 red motorcycles, but was disappointed to find that none had you on them...I will keep an eye out for you as we drive through there... :D

    You have, at the least, me, this message board, and your oldest son telling you to FINISH THE CAR (y)

    Very nice job with the roof repair.(y) I love seeing a Maverick that some might consider too far gone to fix brought back to life.

    That is impressive work with a welder my friend!! I too would have ran from that amount of damage. Great save.

    well a overwhelming response

    hey guys no more quiting and have a$$ed attempts to repairs. thank you all for your support and great encouragement. I never thought i had it in me to perform this type of repair, all my experience in welding has been in the industrial field repairing wharf and yard cranes and every other imaginable type of equipment. oh by the way scott no gas money coming from me but you will see my car done god willing in the next 4 -6 months. giving my self some time to do this thing right and make kick a$$ looking. thak you all this forum is great and this friday i will be donating some money to become a member and sponsor !!!!!!!!!THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman

    Where were you when I wrecked my Maverick on Hughs Rd. in Dickinson back in 1976? I could have used some good body work done:
