    Holy crapola.. that's the kinda stuff drag racer types dream about at night! Should be able to shed upwards of 100+lbs off the nose with that purdy thang. Wish they made one for a Comet. Ever consider running glass doors too?

    Years ago I ran 'glass front fenders on mine, I don't think they were much lighter than the steel parts.

    I purchased a Grabber hood the last week of October and I was refunded in December since the order could not be fulfilled. I sent email to Maverickman about when hoods would be in stock again but I get no replys.

    Yeah.. seen that one before. Thanks for the lead.

    Ideally I want a very small and subtle cowl added to the rear of the hood but intend to keep the GT scoop for now so eventually I'll just have to make my own to get what I really want.
