    OUT of the trailer??? Man, I'm starting to feel like a peon around all you guys with the enclosed trailers.
    Are you pulling it with the wagon??? :hmmm::bouncy:

    Actually, I'm betting the rest of his car is still in primer. The above photo is probably the only part of the car that's painted. He's just messin with everybody. :naughty:

    I don't need and enclosed trailer....

    ......all I need is a brother with one!! And no....will not be pulling it with a wagon. Looking at pulling it with a diesel. Mountains can be a killer when towing. :D

    Craig,

    Since I won't be able to attend the roundup, I hope you will take a whole slew of pictures to share with the group here. That teaser shot is killing me! I've seen some of the other pics on your web site and your Grabber is going to be amazing, I'm sure of that. Just wish I could attend this years roundup, but it's not in the cards for me.

    Enjoy the show, and celebrate a job well done.... (and take lots of pics!).

    Congratulations on a job well done! Still working on my drag car an won't make DC, really wanted to be there! I'll have to wait to see completed car.
    Gotta watch them diesels! That soot finds its way in trailers an,,,,,,,jk Seems sorta fitting that the wagon should pull it!
    Good luck on the trip! Should have plexi-glass sides an give a great car show on the way down!

    Man I am glad that 72 Grabber didn't turn out to be red with the black stripes. Even though it was one of the more popular colors and we all know Maverickers just want to be different, I really really want to get an original 72, red with the black stripes and black pin stripes like the one my Dad had, but I want all the options he either couldn't get because of my Mom or because of $$$$. His was the striped down model with bench seat and automatic AM Radio, he claimes it had the rear window defogger too but I don't remember it and I did A LOT more work on that car than he ever did. But anyway I want the 302 like Dad's but mildly built, I want A/C a 4 or 5 speed, Bucket seats and a console. But the red and Black Grabber is my (If I had lots of money that I didn't have other stuff to do with ) Car. Well the Grabber and a Shelby AC Cobra, but the Cobra will have to wait because given the choice I'd buy the MAverick first :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl:

    Pic prior to stripes

    A little spy sent me a pic of Craig's Grabber prior to his adding the stripes.
    Hopefully he won't be too mad that I am posting it here!











    :D
