    Hello everyone, I have been looking around in the forum and found all types of technical info. to start my restoration on 72 Grabber.

    I found this car in central texas and removed the 85 302 and supposeadly replaced with a 302 cobra 68 (questionable). Installed a 20 oz. plastic soda bottle for temporary gas tank.

    Removed the vinyl top finding a few 1" or smaller holes and since have stopped due to not knowing where to get necassary items.

    I was given a 4 lug maverick shell with a grabber hood for parts.

    Gas tank, window molding, etc.

    Cecil

    Uh... yes, I'd say you got quite the deal.

    There's plenty of info here for you if you have the desire (and if you don't have the desire - let's talk selling that Grabber hood to me :D ).

    Welcome aboard.
