    :dancing:I have had a Grabber Hood with the Normal Front Rust issues,frame etc. I had a Reg. maverick hood(rust free) which I wanted to transfer the good frame and parts into the Grabber Hood. Talked to many bodyguys that did'nt really want to tackle it. I dropped it off to old Bodyman I know. I think it turned out great. transfered the good Frame and metal to the Grabber Hood. Here are a few Pictures:....:hmmm:pics to come soon. Kirk image_988037.jpg image_613782.jpg image_original.jpg Here ya go...(y)

    I have already pounded and cut on mine, to the tune of $200 (worth of my time!).

    I gotta track down my old body buddy!

    All original Grabber hoods are older than most flat hoods percentage wise up to 5 years.
