1974 Ford Maverick Grabber

[B61 MACK]

My brother-in-law Robert gave me this one it's a die-cast model has grey primer on it.
But it came with no paper work and it's missing on wheel.
Made by Motor Max.


Going to see if I can put it on another chassis.

Been looking at the way the front wheels go on this one, Did think of building up a new part for the missing wheel, But after looking at the way its made up I think it will be easyer to make up a whole new front axle.



As you can see by the wheel the hub is part of the rim and the back of it.
Also look's like the front of the rim and hub cap are all one part.
So I need two new front wheels will need to change the rear end too.
Anyway it will give me some thing to do looking for parts to change it. yes!

Oh this is a 1974 Ford Maverick Grabber, On the box its call Mavenck goes to show the Chinese can not Translate properly. yes!

Look's like this is a 1/25 scale not 1/24.
Just been looking at a front axle for it and found with a bit of work I can use the front bit from a 69 Mustang Chassis, Now to find the wreck Mustang kits to use the front bit off.
This thing has got me interested in building up a car kit yes!
Will be going with Mustang rims too.

I’m glad to see your excited about a build project again

Definitely a few options to fix/replace the front hubs n axle. and watching what you come up with

[B61 MACK]

Thinking on Copper or Bronze colour for it. yes!

[B61 MACK]

Bit more cleaning up and adjusting then glue in place for the new axle.

[B61 MACK]

Going with these wheels, working on the rear diff next. yes!

[sandboarder]

That’s looking good. Making some quick progress with the front end, keep at it. It’s looking sweet on the new wheels.
