    I have been trying to help one of my buddys find a Grabber hood for his Maverick. I cold called a guy I had bought a few misc parts from in the past just to see if he might have a lead on one.

    Well, he didn't have one Grabber hood, he had FOUR !!!! And a lightweight fiberglass flat hood also. After a little wheelin and dealin, I was able to make a deal for all five hoods.

    The red one is 100% rust free with a little damage on top. The yellow one has very minor surface rust with no holes. The green one is also rust free with a small dent in the front edge and another area with a little filler. The black one has some collision damage on the front edge and a few small rust holes underneath the front lip. It's definitely fixable and worth saving. The fiberglass hood has some slight damage in one of the front corners and is setup for hood pins on all four corners.

    The red one is going on my buddies car, but the other four will be for sale. Keep an eye out for my ad in the "Parts for Sale" section in the near future.

    Here is a link to a bunch of pictures to show you exactly what shape these are in. I can't believe I hit the mother load off such a random phone call. :yahoo:
