nice, you don't see to many stock Comets. Is it a die cast model ?

[Classicgas]

Yeah. Thanks.

[Tom99]

Very nice.

[Classicgas]

Thanks much.

[RAMBENNA]

sweet build, looks great

[Classicgas]

Thank you.

That is neat Lee, I wish they would have done a same year Maverick instead of the funky 5 mph bumper version. I had a friend that had the same year Maverick this color.

Thanks. Yeah I think the Maverick is a 74.

[slusher]

Really nice!!

[Classicgas]

Thanks.

[michaelbaskett]

Who makes it????

And where did you get it??????

[Classicgas]

I got it in a trade, Fresh Cherries is the brand. I think you can find em at Wal-Mart.

[randyc]

That should make it Motormax?  I have the Vega from that line.

[Classicgas]

Yeah motor max is the manufacturer, fresh cherries is the line.

Here's a Maverick I modified as tribute to the first family car my wife drove. Yard sale find, it was black.  Added a set of Johan wheels and painted. 

But I do love that Comet!

That looks great Lee.

Did you strip the original paint off before repainting,  and if so, what did you use to get the paint off the metal with?

Thanks

That's what I get for not quoting the original post. ?

Yours looks nice also Randy, and thanks for answering me. I would have thought a good scuff would do the job.

[randyc]

I realized you might not have been talking to me and tried to delete it.  Lol.  Sorry.  

[Sam I Am]

No worries Randy, your input is valuable as well. 

[Classicgas]

Nice Maverick. I want that  one too. The brand is motor max but the line is fresh cherries. Here is the box. It was in primer in the box.
