    Did you try and color match or did you just use The Grabber Blue Formula? That nice original Grabber you have would be perfect for color matching :)

    That's awesome everytime i see a Grabber blue car painted i can tell right away what paint is original and what's not... the Factory had a nice perfect smooth look to it... you did the right thing by matching :)

    Jimmy, it is so nice of you to restore a car for me that is going to be way nicer than yours. I hope you at least come in second at all the shows we go to!!
    I wish everyone on this forum could have the opportunity to meet you and they would find out what a wonderful man you really are.
    P.S. Make sure to have the 5 bucks ready for me when I get home from work, okay.:rofl2:
