    Thanks for all the comments guys. I have actually been on the forum for a while but havent had much time to post up. I am located in Connecticut and Serve in the US Navy. NOt much to say except my car is a original Grabber , bone stock 302(amazingly still all original) and everything works on her, i mean even the winsheild washers...LOL. I am putting together a 347 for her and thinkin bout either 12.5/1 all motor or just going low compression and running a a power adder. Vortech v-2 would be great on her....Anyways thanks a bunch guys for all the great comments.

    You know, I really don't like vinyl tops, but that one looks GREAT!!! (y) It really goes well with the colors.

    As for the carbon fiber hoods, that would be a good investment, IMO. I visited with Maverick Man weekend before last and got to see them in person. As soon as I save up some $$$...I really liked the other carbon fiber parts, as well (rear quarter extensions and spoiler). They are very good quality parts, and light as paper!!!

    :Welcome: to the board. I was watching that car, on Ebay also. Very good buy. Congrats on serving in the Navy. I'm retired Navy. Aren't these cars fun, as a hobby? There is never enough time for hobbies....
