    4x 71 Grabbers
    Hello, my name is Don and I live in Dallas, TX. My first car was a 71 Grabber 302. The car was a blast to drive. Fast forward to today where I find myself with a garage full of Grabbers mostly parts cars. Where can I find interior, weather stripping, and trim parts? I want to build a nice driver and show everybody how nice these cars are.

    :Welcome:

    You can buy carpet and weather stripping from Autokrafters or eBay. Interior plastic parts are most likely gonna need to come from parts cars, as the interior panels are specific to Mav/Comets. Seat skins are not re-produced, unless you have '71-'72 high back front buckets; those are the same as Mustang high back buckets. Trim parts are Mav/Comet mostly, so parts cars are the source again.

    You can use the search feature on the forum to find TONS of info. Good luck with the project!

    Welcome

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I must admit I cannot figure out how to post pics of my cars. But I will give it a try.

    Y'all wouldn't have a lead on a set of "Sport mirrors" and as well a Grabber rear spoiler kit in good shape that you would be willing to part with?? Or have any contact of other folks that might..... Ebay has so far been a complete bust for the mirrors, and "Maverick Man" sells a Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber kit but i would like to find a NOS one first if I can....
