    Very Nice!! I wish I had the patience and skill you do so that my car would have turned out half as nice as yours. I Can't wait to see the many magazine articles to come.

    Now I am inspired to get a good battery in my Maverick and get it on the road agian, it's been too long.

    awesome car

    Mavaholic...you impressed the hell out of me with this one. I've restored a lot of cars but have mostly been for the streets. I am getting ready to restore my own 71 Grabber over the next few months and after seeing your car, I can see that I really do have my work cut out for me. Most people don't spend as much time on the outside of their car as you did on the bottom...awesome. I want mine to look like that. I guess I better pull my Mustang off the rotisserie...after all, it's on the back burner anyway...and it's a 70 Boss 302. I hope to see your car in person some day soon.
    Oh yeah, if things go right I might be able to get my hands on a Sprint here in town...I've been watching it for years and I just heard it was for sale. Wish me luck.

    That is one nice ride.

    I just pulled the motor out of my Grabber and was bummed about spending the winter crawling around in the engine bay. I have been suiitably "re-motivated," if that's a word.

    Thanks Mavaholic.

    What more can I say!

    Looks just as GREAT as the day I saw it in the first of October.

    For everyone... the pic's that Mavaholic as posted look great, but once you see this car in person you would be speechless.

    Once again Mavaholic my hat is off to you!

    Awsome. Simply Awsome.

    You have inspired me and depressed me all at one time. the '74's been off the road now for a year. Just cant get the money to do her justice.

    Congrats. She's gorgeous.

    Bought a set of Flowmaster 50 Series today and gave my exhaust guy Mavaholics undercarriage picture to get an estimate. $200 to run the exhaust .. I have to supply the Collectors, Mufflers and Tips and he supplies the pipes, hangers and labor ....

    Dang Dennis....that thing is show-quality.

    Why'd you have to do 2 cam changes and what cam did you finally end up using?...
