Tried it today and IT WORKS!! All the loose rust was softened on one of my bumper brackes in a few hours. Leaves mud where the rust was. A little wire brushing and wiping off and the bracket is ready for some some OSPHO and POR15. This is going to save a lot of work. Pic shows the what happens to th...

Follow Europe?
A lot of politicians want us to be more like Europe. How about unlimited speeds?

Rear Quarter Panel
I'm currently working on the rear quarter panels. I mentioned before this is the only sheet metal that's repoed for the Maverick. If smaller patch panels were available, I could have used them. Repo inner fender would have been VERY helpful. For the other side, I'll see if a Mustang inner fender wou...

When did you do all this work, and where is the engine? I've had the car since last Fall. I'm REALLY slow, so the cowl repair took a few weeks. The engine is sitting in front of the car on Walt's engine stand. I vascilated about pulling the engine. It ran fine. Nice and quiet once the lifters got p...

Cowl Vent Repair
Most Ford guys will know about rusted out cowl vent chambers on 1960s and '70s Fords. The Sprint had it. Debris accumulates, blocks the drains and the floor of the chamber rusts thru. That allows rain to get into the cabin, soak the carpet and rust the floors. Solution is to remove the hood and fron...

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed meeting and spending time with Tiresmokers at Carlisle. Thanks for inviting me, hauling my stuff (incl bucket seats) in the wagon, and letting me mooch lunches. Thanks, Paul, for the Holleys. Had a great time and picked up some hard to find Maverick parts and trans...

Rare?
I didn't get production numbers on the car. Can get a detailed report for $50 but there are too many other things it needs. There is a registry of Maverick Sprints. Mine was the 16th one registered. I know of one other Sprint in North Carolina. There's a BEAUTIFUL one in Maryland. The owner got it w...

1972 Maverick Sprint
From July 2007 to August 2008 I amused myself by restoring a 1968 Beetle that was donated to Wheels4Hope, a charity where Walt and I volunteered for several years. http://www.postimage.org/gx2a3z29.jpg The restoration was fun but I had no interest in owning or driving a Beetle. It reminded me of my ...
