    Hey Bobby,

    Greetings from Clearwater.

    I kind of get the vibe that you and I might have met at the Sumter Swap Meet maybe a year ago. Did you get some Granada/Monarch seat tracks from me (power driver seat?).

    Anyway, welcome to the board ... always good to see another Florida member here.

    :Welcome: from Northeast Pennsylvania

    Youi wouldn't happen to have or have had a black 71 or 72 Grabber? I was at one of the Old Town car shows in Kissimmee, Florida about 12 years ago and a really nice black Grabber was there. I spent a lot of time looking over that car and it was that moment than made me "do something" with my 70 instead of leaving it out in the yard for another year to pass :yahoo:

    What a stellar memory you have CaptainComet, because you are correct, we did meet at the swap meet and talked for a good while about,....of course, cars. I did buy those seat tracts as well. I think that's been a good two-three years ago. The Comet I purchased those seat tracks for is still seating on jack stands in the shop waiting on me.

    Hello Bob,
    Actually I work in Kissimmee, and have been to the Old Town weekend car show/Cruise several times. I cruised my 1967 Mustang Fastback a few years ago and a 1963 Falcon, but never a Maverick......yet anyway.

    A little late, but welcome to the site. I think you will find that this is the best site on the internet, in terms of civility, information and just a good time. Enjoy!

    Welcome! I envy you Florida Ford guys, you can still find almost everything down there, I can't wait for my yearly visits to my uncles in Tampa, we always find some good stuff. If your a Ford guy down there, you might know my uncle, he lives around the corner from Busch Gardens.
