    grabber hoods are steel. only came on 71-72 cars. that's why they are hard to find. i've got one in my shed. not for sale though. simon, better take all the rust free parts you can get your hands on and make a killing in iowa.:)

    I personally wouldn't sell a rust-free Grabber hood for less than $500 ....
