    I've noticed that a majority of the cars I have seen users post here on the forum have Grabber Hoods on them. You would think they are easy to find but we all know the aren't ... Just babbling :D

    I know what you mean. It sure sounds funny to tell new guys that it will take some time and $$ to find one when lots of people have them here. I found my 3 (one on car - 2 extras if anything happens to mine :(, or for future unseen projects - nope, one is not going on my 70) relativly easy, but that was over the course of 4 years. The trick, I think, is to wait and you will eventually find one - that's what happened to me. Get your feelers out there.....

    Stop and think about it,in the two years that they made the so called "Grabber" Hood,there was like only 80 thousand in those two years made,not counting the ones made for replacement (have no idea how many that is) To find one in good shape after all these years is a "real find"

    Yes You can buy the fiber glass ones,(never seen one in person,and untill I do I will not buy one)

    They maybe nice,just don't know.
