    How easy is it to convert a small bumper car to a big bumper car? I want to put the bumpers off my '76 parts car on to my '73 Grabber.

    that should be the easier way to go. you will need to take off or notch the front valance and put the rear big bumper end caps on. not sure how much more than that there is to it.

    Yeah, and I'm going to modify my blue Grabber some more...gonna turn it into a 4-door! :cool: Then I'm gonna paste your avatar on the rear of the car and see what happens. :biglaugh: I'm betting I'll get rear ended within 15 minutes. :yup:

    Terry, do you have a gas welder? If so, you need to go inhale some of the oxygen - I think you got too close to all those birthday candles the other day! :rofl2:
