    well my current one was brought in on a trailer w/o steering, front suspension, rear suspension, front spindles, engine, tranny, rear, etc. it was just a body with a raggedy interior. it had sat for about 18 yrs or so.

    exactly the way i brought it home...

    i have seen it come along way, even though some may not see it. it still have a long way to go as well but im proud of where it's at and in the amount of time that it was accomplished.
    the way it is today (more or less)

    I have way too many pictures to share. I could take up 4 pages of this thread sharing pictures and telling stories. Just click on the camera icon to the left and scroll through to see my pics starting with the '74 Grabber.

    Well, I bought my Sprint new, but the only surviving picture that I have found is the first one. It was taken in the winter of 73 when the car was right around 1 1/2 years old. The second picture was taken in early 2000. Then the last was taken at the 2003 Roundup.
