    okay...I've started the bodywork and it's getting close to the time for me to think about paint. I'm going with the '73 grabber scheme, so I'm trying to think of what colors I want to go with...just wanted to see what the maverick community would choose.

    thanks...

    I hate to say it, But 73 has to have the worst paint sceme out of all the Grabbers, and I have a 73, I just think it's plain, I'd go with a soild color and have the 71 or 72 stripes done in a custom color.

    Besides, your license and registration are free in Texas, if your car is the color of the UT longhorns
