    Pics of Bev '71 V8 Grabber. Up until now all the body work and paint was done in my shop. Here are a few pics of the 400 hp 347 stroker, a few pics of the base coat clear coat grabber blue painted inner fenders and door jams. Pics of exterior in high solids primer after long boarding with 150 grit sand paper, reprimered and guide coated to be long boarded again with 320 grit sandpaper. Pics of paint job to come next week. Cheers Jimmy
