I definitely understand those who suggest not to bother with this car. I know that it's going to be a mountain of work. On one hand, it almost...
So my main demon on this car seems to be the rusty body. So, until I get this car up and take a good look underneath, rip up the carpet and look...
Well, I'm still kinda on the fence on reviving this one, or taking my losses and moving on. In either case, I need to get the car up on some...
Yeah, the rust is going to kill me on this one. I really need my tools up in my inlaws garage to start diging around and looking. Before I start...
I've got the pictures of the absolute worst of the rust. There are some other spots of rust on the car, but it doesn't quite look like metal would...
I realize that probably almost everything will need to be replaced on this car. I also am well aware that with project cars, you're better off...

You hit the nail on the head with what I'm planning on doing. Also, I'm thinking that once I get it to the point where I can drive it up and down...
I didn't find this newbie page until just right now, after I've already posted a few questions elsewhere. I'm in my final semester (I hope) of my...
On my recently inherited '72 grabber project car, I noticed the front passanger quarter panel and passenger door are both from a comet not a...
Forgot to mention, it's a manual and it was well maintained until it started sitting. I'm anxious to really dig in and get going, but...
Let's see if I can remember all of your questions/cmments....The engine is a 302 V8. I'm pretty lucky that it was stored inside, so the rust isn't...
Thanks for the tips guys. That was along the lines of things I was looking to do, but didn't know exactly what to do in what order (hand cranking...
I just "inherited" a 1972 Maverick Grabber from my father in law this week. I like to think I'm fairly mechanical, I generally fix all my own...
