    Well after about a year of weekends, the Mav is finally going to paint! I did a Grabber clone on my regular 72 2 door. The car wasn't in bad shape when I got it but had a vinyl top and the dreaded rot along the front edge of the roof. After repairing that, I tackled the rest of the car. Rust in the usual places. Behind the rear tires, and some in the the doors. I also took out years of dents and dings. I purchased the car from the son of the original owner so I have a great history on the car. I'm going to go with Grabber Orange, with Grabber stripes from Phoenix Graphics. I also found a pair of Grabber buckets and recovered them...replacing the stock bench seat. Here are some pics. First attempt at loading pics so I hope it works!

    Later,
    Josh
