: I don't think they look stupid.
: But I added my own little modifications to mine to make it look the way I wanted it. I think the small bumper cars look better (I am actaully in the process of prurchasing a 72) but I like the way mine turned out. I considered the front bumper swap but after I did the paint in 73 stripes it wouldn't look right.
You know what, I think your 73 Grabber looks awesome! I had seen one that was a red(my Grabbers color) or orange and it just looked goofy. Yours doesn't look goofy though. Mine still has the old dog dish hub caps which I really like(you can laugh now) and it may do something to the look. I think the caps look great on a 69 BOSS 302, but maybe they just aren't helping the Grabber? I just don't know, mine somehow looks goofy like the old pics I've seen. Maybe new paint does the trick!
BTW, is your engine in anyway mod. and if so, how much? Also, where'd you get the scoop? It looks like a BOSS 429 scoop or maybe Comet GT hood scoop? Let me know, I am interested in one for my 70 Maverick.
