    ok got two good things:
    the first
    There is a shop in the HEB area called SpeedTek Performance.
    They have tons of parts that i think is cheaper then ordering them form online or in one of the mags.
    The main web site is:
    http://www.theimarketplace.com/Speedtek/index.cfm?fuseaction=customintro
    The online Catalog is:
    http://www.7453217467431.com/affiliate/dfx/home.jsp?affID=32218&affiliate=32218&bmUID=1083105794468
    its a realy good place.

    The second and best is that there is a mav for sale in the denton area.
    My girlfriend was comming back from getting dorm stuff for unt and her dad was stoping to get gas when he noticed that there was a maverick in the parking lot across the street he dosnt know what year it was. He says" NO rust on the out side, in side was clean, he said the hood was locked but he looked up underneath and he is preaty sure its a 302 carbed, the front fenders are fiber glass.
    to me its sounds like a nice car
    but to bad for me i cant get up that way for awile
    sorry i cant get a number or anything for the mav..
