    Nice job, Saw this at pleasanton car show, I think a different set of wheels would make it look better but nice work overall, check out the treatment on the tail lights

    I don't mind the LS, but why the hell would someone put a late-model Chevy steering wheel in a Maverick (or any other Ford)??!

    Ive seen this car in person in redwood city at the shop it was done at. the reason for the chevy wheels is for the power steering and the correct fir the sleeper chevy instrument cluster. everything in this car except the back seat and the body is from a 2002 chevy suburban
    the back seats are from a saturn believe it or not. the mechanic that actually worked on this car said they fit right in
    the only problem I have with the car besides the whole chevy in a ford is that the engine bay is even more crowded. they did a really nice job because everything looked like it was made that way when I saw it at there shop

    I definitely agree it needs some different wheels and I don't care for the side exit exhaust.

    Not just the wheel but they installed the entire tilt column assembly

    Looks like great craftsmanship but I'm not a fan of the interior or the wheels.

    A lot of work for sure. Glad I saw the wheels on it. Have been eye balling them for a while now and was ready to pull the trigger on them at the end of the month. After seeing them on a mav I'm not a fan
