    You guys crack me up! The van? Beats me? I don't like it though, they suck. Drove a Aerostar van with the kids :( Gosh I hated that car/van like no tomorrow...

    Maverick for the Maverick! LOL Getting it back next weekend, Pinto/Milo goes in for engine work and maybe a rebuild if it needs it, think it does, the one before me rebuilt the top have. Leaks oil like a sieve! Maybe I'll go with a small V6 for the Pinto, who knows... Painting this week, I'll post pics! Lucy (Rambler) gets her engine back in 2 weeks.

    Great pics on the google! I think I'll go with the trim rings though, think it's plain enough with dark tinted windows in the back!

    I wanna drive the Rambler most of all, the Maverick and Pinto are eh, well you know :)

    the wheels off a FWD car are a different offset and they would tuck waaay under the fenders...if they cleared the suspension at all :)

    Yes, it's a nice color on the car and keeping it original. At one point I though about doing it in grabber blue to match the Maverick LOL
