    That is a great picture. You did a really great job on the Stallion Dan. I like the grabber hood. The Stallion package should have had them stock from the factory. I've had my Maverick called everything in the book, but it seems folks around here constantly believe it's a Pinto. Maybe it's the tail lights that confuses them. At least they are keeping it in the Ford family.

    I wouldnt put any writing on that beautiful car. Instead, go down to Office Depot and get some business cards made up that say,
    " Its a MAVERICK you Dumb Ass".
    Then everytime they open their stupid mouths, hand them one. They wont forget.
