    By time you pay shipping it wouldn't be worth it.

    Only cost $50-70 via Greyhound Express. I'm getting a quarter panel that way for only $86, sure beats the $175 another guy quoted me!:clap:

    A little while back...I found a Grabber hood on EBAY...The guy wanted over $600 to ship from Ohio to Wyoming. I told him to stick it where the sun don't shine.....

    okay went and got the hood wasn't rust free.:rolleyes: Didn't really expect it to be its here in the rust belt anyway gave the guy 150.00 then went to the junkyard and got a donor hood for 20.00 so ended up paying 170.00 for a grabber hood. the bracing underneath is pretty much gone the lip is alright and there are 2 holes drilled in the front edge for some unknown reason but it is repairable.

    Still not a bad deal as long as you can repair it. :)

    I paid too much for my first grabber hood. It was damaged, but I wanted one really bad, and could not find one anywhere. My 2nd Grabber hood cost me only $65 plus my original flat hood...:D
