    Well friends ,after starting and finishing Bevs(Grabbergirl719) car in 2009, this is the new project to start and finish in 2010 .My 69.5 Grabber clone will have a EFI 347 stoker with a Holly systems 2 intake and 36 lb injectors and a T45 5 speed .It will be painted Bright Compition Orange with a black factory interior and black grabber strip package . My goal is to have it finished to show at the Mega ford Weekend Sept 13-14 0f 2010. The body appears to be a little rough but its really a 90 percent rust free car with a few small dents here and there . Here of are a few pics of day 1 resto.

    I like the color. That's the color of the 70 Grabber I'm working on...
