    HI Ya'll
    I am Wire Master
    A 52 year young handicapped guy. Crippled in a car accident in 2002. Little cars don't mix well with 18 wheelers, avoid that.
    I own a 1973 Maverick Grabber and have had it for 20 years. It used to be my dailey driven car until I parked it 6 years ago to start restoring it back to its former glory
    I have owned a 72 Road Runner, a 68 Mustang Coupe, A 61 Merc Comet and now the Grabber. Had I been smarter in my youth I would still have the others LOL.
    My Grabber has 188K miles on it and still will get up and move fast. It has New heads on it, and all new rings in it. With those exceptions it is totally factory issued. I made the mistake of putting the wrong decade crankshaft in it, but now have 2 of the right ones and will be changing that again as soon as the Dr's let me move around more. I have been unable to work on it since the accident.

    I belong to 4 other message Boards of which they are all Joke and Adult Humor types.
    I also am a Photoshop Tagger and do custom signatures by request only.

    Anything else anyone wants to know feel free to ask and I will generally answer most of them

    Thank you
    No I never took any, but I am going to start capturing the restorations on film once I start again. It needs a lot of body work and rust removal now. So far All I have been concerned with is getting the engine up and running.
    Since my accident and 8 surgeries I haven't been able to get into my garage to woirk on it since 2002
