Grabber hoods that are rust free typically go for $500 to 1k plus shipping!!! Watch buying a grabber hood they tend to rust out under the front hood lip!!!! Most can be repaired but I would pay no more than 150.00 300.00 depending on overall condition as it is an expensive repair unless you can do it yourself.... You could buy one of these right now it is a Fiberglass Carbon FIber grabber style hood. Check this thread http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=34236 MaverickMan (stand up mavericker) who has the market cornered on these has a sale right now free shipping until he thins his stock to make room for a move!!!!
You can buy fiber glass bumpers and have brackets made to bolt them on!!!! or you will need to find a good set of usd bumpers from a 1970-72 for small frt and rear or a 73' has that cool mid size bumper in the front and small bumper in back same as earlier models. Check the classifieds on this site......Ebay.....Craigslist and scour your local junkyards!!!! I tend to make it an event when I go JYing....invite a couple hotrod buddies ,pack a lunch , do some bsing and bench racing whilst we look for stuff we want to salvage!!!! You know make a day out of it!!! or at least a good portion of the afternoon and claim to work hard when you get home to impress the Mrs. with your finds/good deals!!!
