    I've been lurking around here for a while and now it's time to come forward. Found a 74 Grabber sitting in a field, hidden by weeds mostly. Car is yellow with Grabber strips and mirrors, but with 250 6 cylinder. Outside the car is in really great shape, inside looks like I'll have to replace floor pan from under front seat to under back seat and fab up something for the trunk which is rusted through pretty good. This is my first Maverick and will be my first attempt at fixing up an old car. I've played with some cars, mostly Camaros, but this will be first real challenge. I've got to say, this is a fantastic website, lots of good info here. Hope yall don't mind when I ask you questions. Thanks for such a good website.
