raisin27 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Some of you may have seen this one as I had posted it before on another forum, but for those of you that havent.......... This was my favorite pro stocker back in the day, as kids we used to sneak into Detroit Dragway on match race nights and watch the pro stockers run, Seems Nicholsons Maverick always won! When I saw that Slixx offered decals I just had to do one. I bit the bullet and paid big bucks ($50.....ouch!) on ebay for a JoHan Maverick kit Added the engine bay from a Monogram Mustang, and Wrinkle slicks from SMBC. The paint is plasticote chevy orange ("chevy" orange?...blasphamy!) and decals are slixx. Thyanks for looking, Raisin
novadose71 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I'd love to have that on my shelf. Nice job.
Fast Floyd Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Great Job, Mike !!!! I wish I could have seen the real cars like that race. But you Maverick looks like it is ready for the match races!!!!!!!! I love those old mavericks!!!!!
Wildrice Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Awesome build. I loved seeing it in person at West Middlesex, PA. Nice chatting with you too.
cruz Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 WOW!!! Very nice, I will be doing the Johan Comet soon, you did a great job on this one man
Dragline Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Superb, I'll echo others and say I'd also like to have that on my shelf. Well done indeed. Bob
Old Buckaroo Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 That old JoHan really looks super. I saw a kit on the 'bay sell for $120.+ yesterday. SO you got a bargain Where did you get the gauge on the cowl grill and tach from ? This one was of my favorite cars from that era.
my name is nobody Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Beautiful Build. Sweet Looking Maverick. could you imagine a BOSS 429 in a Maverick? Wow! What a ride.
Rat_Pack Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Man I love the old Pro Stocks!!! I have been putting off on buying one of the Maverick and Comet kits because of the price.....but now I am on the hunt again. Nice build!!!........RatPack.........
