    I know how everyone likes to see pic's, so I thought I would share a few. This is a 1970 Grabber clone that I have been working on and hope to have done by the end of July.

    Nice color, I like it because it is different. What's it called?

    Verry cool!!! I love burying stripes in clear. Gives it lots of depth.

    I love the color. End of July?
    That's just in time for the MCCI Roundup Nationals in Dulles, VA.
    Bring it on over!

    Thanks.
    The color is called Star burst orange II effects, unfortunately it is a GM color.

    That looks great .... where did you get that upholstery?

    I think a TRUE 70 Grabber clone would have the entire rear of the car black .... although I don't care for that look ...

    I got the comfort weave material from SMS and it looks really good. You are correct a true 70 Grabber clone would be black up to the top of the spoiler but I didnt like it that way, so I will just call it a 70 Maverick painted similar to a Grabber.
