    I also own a 74 grabber. I am 23 and purchased it at 21.
    Not as easy as people on here make it look. Mine turned out pretty good. Most cars on here have their little problems, I was bugged by my cars problems but when i realized i did everything (including painting) it ain't half bad.

    Welcome to the forum from Wisconsin ............ :Welcome:

    There are a lot of good people here of all ages. You will have fun and learn a lot about these cars here. Expect the unexpected when you start fixing it up and plan on spending twice what you think you will. :49:

    Got my car at 19 and I am 23 now. It definitely takes a lot of work and can be a pain some days. But it is well worth the effort! Can't wait to see pictures.

    Well that's pretty cool guys even younger than me are interested in cars still. I sometimes wonder if it's goin by the wayside.

    Well I only took a couple pics cuz I was tired, but I managed to get the engine and tranny out today. It took me 8 hours. I figure that's pretty good considering I've never done it before and didn't even know what several things even looked like before I started.

    Welcome from Portland, OR.

    Wow. That is jumping in with both feet. I hope you at least have a repair manual or something. DONT LOOSE ANY PARTS!!!! or it gets tough to re assemble.
