Current projects!now new improved Multimaverick

[bobcrozier]

A couple in the process........ if I can get up off my butt long enough to make the effort.

George Montgomery's Maverick - as close as I can to the actual car.
Many body mods to get it anything like:






67 Hairy Hurst

Only the engines and chassis done at the moment




Also sitting around somewhere:

Fireball 500
Mickey Thompson's Challenger
Plus one or two others I cant quite bring to mind

Cool stuff, Bob The Sloth!! (Oh...did I type that out loud?) Anyway, the Maverick looks like it's gonna be a great one!!

[bobcrozier]

Yeah - quite happy with the way the maverick is going. I like the classic "coke bottle" looks of this one. THinking of another but with a stretched nose and substantially altered wheelbase ala Gas Rondas long-nose Mustang.

Bit of an update on the Maverick:

More or less completed the rear end:
Still to do:
Panhard link, paint detailing of upper and lower shock mounts, battery wiring, and a bit of bolt detail here and there




Engine is mounted, and drive shaft is fitted



Worked on the front axle - shoetened it and created new shock mounts and axles - needs BMF now.
All front axle components checked and ready for assembly.
Driving comparyment started but some way to go yet

Hi Guys

Got just the front steering links, track bar etc to put on, plus the dashboard/steering wheel combo, and while i think about it the parachute cords could do with a mounting point, but I may let that slip my mind!

Front axle mounted up with the shocks attached now - (my god that was fiddly).



Check the odd gas pedal location - I can assure you the real car had pedals either side of the transmission hump. George must have had great faith in his scattersheild to sit with his legs akimbo like that!!



PE buckles and the seat cut down a little to make it sit right under the roll cage. gear shift scratchmade.



At the back - wheelie bars, brake line & the batteries wired.




Dashboard ready to go in - home made decals and bezels - dual brake cylinders and pedals.




Hope you like

Bob
