    More like in the Disney Movie "Finding Nemo" and the seagulls everytime another bird had something to eat, they all started up with "MINE" "MINE" "MINE" and not in sync either!

    Dennis I would be interested in a Grabber hood, just like everybody else hollering "Mine"! Pics and a price would be so nice!

    Richard

    I take it you are going to Silver Springs this year? Possibly try the Pony Trail on Friday might you? In any case, look forward to seeing you and the Sprint once again!

    Finally got around to going through the first truck load so far I've gotten:
    4 NOS grill medallions
    5 more nice driver quality medallions
    1 NOS 72 turn signal switch
    1 NOS 73 turn signal switch
    2 NOS right side chrome tail light bezel
    1 NOS left side chrome tail light bezel
    3 NOS gas caps, stamped with steer head
    3 more driver caps, 2 of them real nice
    1 NOS gas cap stamped with "Maverick" on it
    1 NOS deluxe gas cap
    2 more driver quality deluxe caps
    1 NOS Maverick locking gas cap with keys
    2 spoiler sets, one of the trunk wings is a NOS piece
    1 set sport mirrors
    1 perfect 73 rear valance panel
    2 NOS right side quarter panels
    1 NOS left side quarter panel
    4 left side headlight doors, no scrapes or dings
    2 right side headlight doors, no scrapes or dings
    1 Ford remanufactured 1 bbl Carter carb for a 73
    1 Ford remanufactured 1 bbl Carter carb for a 71
    2 of those bolt on floor transmission humps for floor shifters
    1 NOS rear inner wheel well, left side, inside half
    1 NOS right side under bumper turn signal assembly with clear lens.
    1 NOS right rear chromed side marker light bezel
    1 six blade fan (the one the Sunbeam Tiger guys want. I now have 3 of them)
    9 NOS wheel lip moldings A complete set is bundled together. the other 5 I'll have to
    check the numbers to see what they are.
    1 NOS chromed grill (I have 2 of these now)
    2 front bumpers complete with brackets and lights. driver quality
    1 double hump transmission mount
    4 sets V8 frame mounts
    1 V8 Z bar in perfect condition. Looks new with no wear.

    And last but not least, 1 Grabber hood. back side on the drivers side is just starting to rust through. Has a few small holes. The rest of the inside metal is heavy surface rust, but no holes. I will take a wire wheel to it before I try to sell it to see how bad it really is. Outside metal is fine.

    Cant wait until this weekend so I can go get the rest of the stuff and the cars.

    You must live right, man!

    That is an unbelievable amount of parts. You found a way for early retirement, it seems! I, too, would be interested in some of your booty.

    Where are you going to put all this stuff?

    I wish I had a barn. I have no room left here and I still have 3 cars and a couple of truck loads of hoods, fenders, doors, bucket seats and who knows what else. Between my 4 cars and the 3 I'm getting, I can hold my own mini meet.
