Great advertisement As a side note, I was able to get the nose chrome to fit on mine with very little work. I took a big flat blade screwdriver and a couple popsicle sticks and stuck them inside the nose chrome and put screwdriver between them and twisted the handle and worked the opening up to fit the center of the hood. Ten minutes and it fits great.
I didn't think I was going to like the looks of the rear cowl on a grabber cowl hood, but after 30 seconds of watching that video... I LOVE IT!!!! That is SWEET Job well done You should be proud, I would be. Terry.
That is a nicely finished fiberglass hood. Looking at the reflections of the lights above it you can tell it won't take mcuh work at all to have it ready for paint. Looks like great quality. Job well done to the builder.
The quality of the finish on the hood the way it comes is great. It has some very minor orange peal look to it but heck I have seen brand new cars with worse orange peal, you could use it the way it comes but I am sure the uv rays would not be good on it.
Thank you Bossmav and mavgrab302 for the great compliments ,it did turn out pretty nice . I have deceided i will have 3 more sets of 5 for a count of 15 more made to sell to members . This will bring to total of grabber cowl hoods to 20 made and there will be NO more made through me anyway . Cheers Jimmy .P.S to all you American friends that want one im working on it,but its not easy for me as im not aloud into your country to find the easy form of shipping and freight costs ,i was a bad dude in my youth ,lol. Frank and others who spoke up and said they may want one ,,i still have you all down for one if shipping is fair:Handshake ,i have not forgotten any of you.
