    My first post, I have a 70 maverick, tired, wrecked, but rust free. Long term project. I need a left quarter, rear bumper and front suspension w/ disc brakes. My plan is to tub it pro street style. I have a complete drive train from a 91 lincoln lsc. Any advise as to where I can find the sheet metal and what suspension pieces will interchange w/ a Maverick will be very helpful. Is it safe to assume if it fits an early mustang then it should fit a maverick? Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the board. Don't bet on the Mustang parts fitting.

    parts check

    I hope you get this Ray, I am new at this web communication. I live just across the pond from you, Fairhope Alabama. My little project is in its infancy right now. Just trying to learn and feel things out a bit. My 70 model needs a driver quarter and rear bumper. Of course it needs everything drive train wise but I kinda have the plan for that. I have a 91 LSC drive train, 5.0 / 8.8. I want to go the pro street route, tubbed w/ big and littles and a 6 speed. I know its easy to talk about doing something but I have always wanted to build an absurd car that is kinda loud and harsh but can tote the mail. I plan to do all I can myself even if its wrong; I can learn. Thanks in advance for any tips.

    :Handshake Welcome neighbor!
    If you get a weekend with a little free time you need to ride over. I'm not too sure I would have a good qtr panel but you can buy an aftermarket qtr skin for less than $200. They have them listed on eBay right now. I do have lots of other parts though. Just let me know if I can help. I'll pm you my cell number and email.
