    When I was 17 I bought a 1973 Maverick Grabber from my brother.He bought it new. I sold it when I was 19 and regretted it ever since. I have waited 33 years to build my own.
    We have chopped the top 3" widened the rear quarters to hold the Cheater Slicks. 347 Stroker with Tremec 5 or 6 speed. Still deciding the color. We are at the point of designing the dashboard and interior.

    I will update photos often. Here is a link to my build. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nwsm8w9sxff2qgv/u_alV2FHX4
