Grabber Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 These photos were prior to the Tough Mudder event After doing Tough Mudder, they had a clean up area where we could hose off and change into some clean cloths for the drive home. Here is a pic of the 2 of us after we hosed off and put on our finishers shirts and head bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 My neighbor is having a estate sale tomorrow. I spotted these 2 bikes in the garage. They were basically never used. Picked the 2 of them up for $75 bucks each. They had cob webs and flat tires from sitting in the garage for 4 years. Took me about 30 minutes to have them looking like new. Tana just loves them. We went for a nice ride this evening. They are (2) 2008 Schwinn Cruiser SS . Replicas from 1955 era. They ride so nice and feel so sturdy. Big Leather comfortable seats too. Looks like these had a MSRP cost of $240 new.

Grabber Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Rob. You where's the baseball card in the spokes? Just kidding! I have a feeling a few mods will be in the works for these two SS cruisers. :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Love those old Schwinns ... I wouldn't mind having a genuine model to restore. Edited July 6, 2013 by 6-Speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I have a feeling a few mods will be in the works for these two SS cruisers. :happy feet: Those are COOL! My wife and I bought his/hers Schwinn Mountain bikes. They don't have the 'cool factor' your beach cruisers have but they're really nice bikes, for the price. Grabber: Where are the "after" shots from your mud run? A real good friend of mine does that and his after shots are worth their weight in Gold (for EXTORTION! <lol>). Not TOO many people know what the mud run is. After pics explain it all! Waiting patiently, Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting patiently, Phill Phill, Yesterday our Finisher Plaque arrived. It has a photo of my lovely wife Tana and I after we just completed the mud mile obstical course. This photo is now on my home office wall above my desk. These 2 "over 50" youngsters are pretty proud of that plaque. This classic photo of Tana & I in 1977 hangs right above it. Another favorite of mine. She was 15 and I was 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just picked up a set of Red headrests for Mrs. Grabber. They really set off her interior. Nice price too. Paid $80 bucks for them. They were take offs from a friends car that just has the SuperSnake conversion done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the 1977 pic you were a hand-son couple Hans, The Wheels are the same ones that came on the 2008 KR's. Ford Racing had 400 wheels and did a mass sell on e-bay to get rid of them. I bought 9 of them for $260 each + free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 JDB & eagledriver, This thread is one that I have fun in. I share stuff about my family. The things in my life that matter to me. Being proud of my son in the service, my accomplishments in fitness challenges. ETC.... I also joke around and post lots of photos. Photos are free and I enjoy posting them. I do like to show off my car and my wifes car alot. Again....I enjoy having these cars. The thread being pinned makes it easy for me to find and no one has ever complained about that. I can see why and how it looks like I am full of myself and showing off. That is not my intent and if you knew me as a friend, you would see that. I try to be helpful to other GT500 owners in other more technical threads by posting TSB's as they come out so others can get there glitches with there cars fixed. So I do try to contribute to the forum in a practical way too. If you search around, you will see that. Again, this thread is just for fun, mostly my fun.

verlyn12 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Really like the red headrests! Also I see you have the very important JD tractor in the garage! LOL Always like the pictures you post and the teenage picture is really neat. We were married in 70 so have a few of those from that era, too. I was spoiled by hot cars with our first car being a 68 GTO. Now the only thing fast about us is the Shelby! Thanks again for the great pictures and also the info.

08KR525 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 C'mon guys, I enjoy reading Grabber's posts. He has helped a lot of GT500 owners on here. I just wish I had his k owl edge of how to posts pics so that I could share my mods I have done to my two KRs. TS Rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Rob years ago in cyberspace and in the flesh at the 50th Anniversary in Las Vegas. I am proud to call him a friend and know many others that have benefitted from his technical and experience-based posts. Further, his spiritualism and coaching those with substance abuse issues have him in line for sainthood - IMHO. Rob (Grabber) is "The Real Deal." WYSIWYG! How can anyone find fault with with a TS Member that utilizes this site to the fullest? My recommendation for those who "don't get where Rob is coming from," all you have to do is "change the channel" to something else... -Quadcam Grabber - Quadcam - JerseyGator Edited September 26, 2013 by QuadCam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kstrong Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) I am another of Rob aka "Grabber" friends. As QC and others have said, a great guy, do anything for you and who folking cares if this is pinned. Rob has contributed to this web site for years. I remember his little birdy friend back when we were Stangs Unleashed. I can't count how many folks stress levels he has helped reduce by his thoughtlessness, and his many photos. We had a great time at Dearborn 2011 and hope some day to go to his annual Shelby Event.

JDB, I see you now have 148 post, most of which are complaining, bitching or moaning about one thing or another. WTF is your problem? Rob is a great guy and a friend to many here, not to mention an asset to this site. This is just a suggestion but why don't you try contributing something positive to this site instead of being such a Dick?

Grabber Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 For the last three weeks I have been focusing my spare time on re-caulking all the joints on my shop. Had to replace 2 small sections of baton boards where the water got in and worked them over and made them start to rot. Also had a problem with the trim around my side shop door due to the storm door that used to be mounted on it. It caused some water damage too. So I replaced the 3 exterior door trim pieces.
