    I can definitely do that. (y) Also- just wanted to mention this here... I have finally, after a year of back and forth between myself and the Owner of a parts distributor in Brazil- come to terms on importing all sorts of maverick body parts. Including, but not limited to: complete fiberglass body kits, all different types of racing front spoilers, rear bumper replacements, louvers, sport mirrors, interior replacement pieces (custom consoles, gage pods, etc etc), side exit exhaust kits, billet replacement grills, etc etc. I have pics of most of this stuff already if someone is particularly interested in seeing it before I get it set up in its final advertisement form.

    Pricing, shipping times, etc will follow shortly.

    As for my in house projects- the first slide a links are done, I'll be finish tweaking/testing them on my own car this weekend.:yup:

    The tower brace project is moving along nicely, considering the limited shop time available to my fabricator at the moment- I expect to have a functional prototype in my hands in a few days.

    I also took some good pics (finally) of my completed floor repair- it also showcases the tubbing and the fuel cell installation, the main hoop (of the roll cage) being welded in and the assembly/implementation of the driver's side swing out bar (which- by the way, is now IHRA legal if installed to their spec).

    I'm uploading all of this to photobucket and I'll start posting links here in a bit.

    Thanks to everyone who is helping out to bring these projects to fruition!
    :cheers:

    That would really be cool if you can get something worked out on some of the Brazilian stuff. It's been talked about quite often but nothing comes of it. There are lots of those parts that would be great sellers here. (y)

    biggest hurdle to importing the Brazilian stuff was, obviously, language. I spent the first month of our talks alternately telling him I wanted to date his goat, or else purchase a glass phallus for my Maverick motor carriage. :rolleyes:

    Got that sorted, so then it was onto importation contract talks and then final wholesale prices, etc etc etc.

    I'll get it done though- I'm personally motivate dto do so because I want a bunch of those trick parts for my own Mav, lol. :thumbs2:

    How are the Non-caltracs and tower braces coming. I am interested in both as well.
