    Yep, I'm getting pretty pumped--Thursday I'm going to Crites Restorations(the Thunderbolt people) and getting my new Grabber hood. I bought a teardrop hood for my falcon there, and I couldn't believe it when I found out the had Grabber hoods. Plus, I can drive there and save some green on shipping. Yippee!:cool:

    Yeah, they're a little south of Columbus on 23. They sell all kind of parts for fairlane Thunderbolts, lightweight Galaxies and AFX falcons. The people there are so nice, and helpful. If the grabber hood is half as nice as my Falcon hood, I'll be happy. :cool:

    I didnt know Crites had grabber hoods. They are very reputable from what I have seen only deal in quality items.

    Crites make great grabber hoods seen one at a local show. If I bought another Glass grabber hood it would be there. Mine was ok from us body source but not good enough IMO.:eek:
