You should think about paint matching

You should look into paint matching the hood scoop. It looks so much better in Alto Blue than matte black

Looks like a real hood scoop, not a plastic stick on. Impressive and looks cool.

Ah My People! Love the Mustang connections and the Mach 1 inspiration. Well done!

Killer avatar photo! Serious Ratsun vibes...

With Cactus Gray being very similar to Fighter Gray, I took some inspiration from the new Mach One Mustang for graphics on my Mav. Extra context: Mustangs have been a huge part of my family. From hearing stories about my dads ‘65 Ivy Green to helping mod his ‘94 GT, ‘96 Mystic Cobra and ‘03 10th Ann. Cobra; some of my favorite memories involve Mustangs. I even had an SVT Contour for awhile that we made an homage to the Bullitt. Even though he and I are both truck people at this point in time, it was fun to take some vibe from the new Mach One.

I like that, the story behind it and the graphics - great colors! Curious did you have these created for you? Or do you design and create your own graphics / appliques?

Thanks! I worked with a local auto wrap shop. We traded design ideas and they did some mockups until we landed on the final design.

Thank you! I'm a little obsessed with WWII warbirds. Ratsun was a highlight of my SEMA trip a couple of years back. I have a Cactus Gray ordered (XLT Lux) but probably won't see it until the summer. I may do the tiger teeth, we'll see. Definitely going to sticker it up. +5 mph per sticker, right? Orange Maverick letters on the tailgate, TBD on the rest of the truck. Yours looks killer!

Do you think your wrap shop has the skills to create a "Mav1" logo using the Mach1 emblem as a template? That would be icing on the cake.

Very cool!

I’m pretty sure they could if I gave them good enough examples of the font used.

Very Sharp. I factory ordered a 1976 Mustang Mach 1, it was my favorite car with some great memories attached to it, like blowing off a 240Z one night (wasn’t even close

Is the Maverick FX 4 lifted a bit?

mine isn’t but if I remember correctly the full 8.6” ground clearance Ford lists is only if you’re running 235s + for tires. Think it’s like 8.2 with the standard 225s

Nice. DM what painting cost you if you don't mind.
