    Guess it's time to post some pics of my 73 Grabber project. The first couple of pics show the car on the day I brought it home. The rest of them I took today. More pics in the next post.

    73 Grabber,
    The car only had a few dings. The right rear quarter had the only rust thru needing new metal. New metal had already been welded in under the battery tray and it looks like some work was done around the cowl. Overall there was very little rust. Zero rust on the interior floor boards or inside the doors. One area that was really hacked up was on the firewall. My body man did an unbelievable job welding in new metal to make it look factory perfect. I ordered a 347 425hp engine from Prestige Motor Sports in Concord NC. It will be mated to a T-5. I'll have to wait till next year to get the 9 inch rear. Having fun!:bananaman If anyone is in the Acworth GA area stop on by. I'll trade labor and experience for all the cold beer you can drink. (I don't what I'm doing half the time).

    Sounds great I remember the first time I started mine with the headers uncapped I could hardly stop smiling for an hour, throttle response is so quick. You are going to have some fun :thumbs2:
