    Hi, my name is Jeff. I was just given a 1973 2-door V8 maverick. Its in a thousand pieces , but its a rust free California body with the original drivetrain. A friend of mine was going to make a drag car out of it, but gave up on it. Not sure what direction i'm going to go with it . Restore ? Restomod ?
    This is a great forum. Hope to find some good ideas & information.

    Welcome aboard.

    For lots of ideas, I would recommend coming to the Roundup Nationals. I see you are from Wisconsin. You are in luck. The Maverick Comet Club International, Inc. (MCCI) will be holding their 19th Annual Roundup Nationals in Dearborn, Michigan this July 24-29. You will see lots and lots of Mavericks and Comets. You will have to plan and attend. More details can be found at www.MaverickCometClub.org

    Welcome to the forum. Congrats on getting such a great car for free and already taken apart, now you get to fix it and build it any way you can imagine. I would go to the round up, lots of great guys with all kinds of builds. :thumbs2:
