    Will a 72 Grabber Decklid and end caps fit on a 72 Comet GT ? Also -- Can the bright trim ( 3 pieces ) from the Comet be added to these Maverick parts ?

    Yes - still have the Orange 69.5 Car - haven`t decided what to do with it yet. I wanted to do a Road Race Car but that`s an expensive build and long term project.

    Also - The Car is almost too good to cut up and make a race car. Need a Driver side door glass for it - do you have one ?

    Hi Andy - Yeah thanks - I`m thinking about putting a Grabber rear deck on it - always have liked that look - don`t see why it wouldn`t look good on a Comet GT too. I`ll keep you advised on my progress.

    Yea, I wanted to do the same to the car, but was on the bottem end of priorities.
    I got my mustang home and been working on it and ordering parts to put that 302 in it.

    Keep me updated, kinda missing the car at times. lol

    The spoiler definitely looks great on these cars. I always wondered why they didn't put them on the GT. I will certainly put one on mine.

    i just put a grabber spoiler on my car last week. after actually seeing it on the car im glad i shelled out the extra green for it rather than stock 1/4 panel extensions for the small bumper swap
