Yeah, so I don't post that often.... Like once in the last 6 years! Alas, that's more often than I've worked on my 73 grabber until recently. But I'm determined to get it back into driveable shape before my kids are driving age. So, let's see, that gives me another 6 years... I'll post again when it's done. At any rate, good to be back and see some familiar faces and a lot of new ones. Huge thanks to Stefan for providing such a valuable resource over the years, even for chronic lurkers like me. Ok, so pics... I'll upload them as soon as I figure out how. In the mean time, think of Mike Shively's 73, only bone stock and in need of a paint job and a new vinyl roof and new seats and a rebuilt engine and ...
Thanks all for the welcome (back)! But lest anyone think mine looks nearly as nice as Mike's, I'm including a picture from yesterday. I took it out of the garage for the first time in about 12 years after moving a two ton rock pile from in front of its garage door. You can see how faded the paint is... It spent most of its time out in the sun in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's also fairly dusty from sitting in the garage that long. On the upside, there's very little rust. The reason the front end looks so high is that it's a few hundred pounds light owing to the motor still being in the garage... I tried to add it to the 73 Grabber Registry, but I couldn't tell if it's still maintained? Anyway, other random info: It's a bone stock 302 A/T with factory A/C, high back bucket seats, shift on the floor, tinted windshield, halo vinyl roof, factory slot mags. It's a canuck, but lost its buck tag sometime in the past (just one corner of it still held by the screw in the radiator support).
Looks like the picture didn't work? How about this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nwhiker/2660604190/in/set-72157606119319691/
