1974 Ford Maverick – Homebuilt Brawler
Every piece of this LS-powered Maverick has passed through Russ’ hands.
There’s no excuse for paying someone to work on your car when you can handle the work yourself. Sure, machine work and other aspects of a build can be farmed out, but for Russ Grimes, every part of his Ford Maverick passed through his hands in an effort to make the car look good—and go fast. Russ operates a small shop named Joe Dirt Fabrication and fabricates everything from subframe connectors to complete turbo kits. He handled every portion of this build, from the junkyard engine rebuild to the bodywork and paint and everything between. It’s this type of street car that can truly be considered budget-built, as Russ regulated his spending by avoiding the costly labor rates of pro shops. His work paid off, as his Maverick is bad-fast and always attracts a crowd with its crossbred engine combination, which happens to include a blow-through turbo setup.
