    If the poll leads to the fixer uppers leading, then we know we are in good shape. It is the fixer uppers that will keep these cars growing in popularity.

    Well, mine still needs a paint job, but it's a summertime weekend warrior. I retired it from "daily driver" operation back in 1994...

    My car is under construction again after a less than stellar job I attempted in my teens of a semi-resto. All I can say is watch out when I am done....

    Even RadMav will bow down to my greatness:D :bowdown:

    I had to choose more than one. I can't commit to just one. These cars are just F-O-R-D-R-I-F-I-C!!!!

    My Grabber is a driver. It's not real pretty, a little embarrassing at times, but it makes it to the car shows. I am just trying to hold it together till I finish my '73. I might restore it after that.
