George Bojaciuk Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) This was the latest addition to the graveyard pile...This will also be seen in my next column (can you guess that it might be about paint?). I bought 2 Missing Link '71 Grabber's for a fictional father and son "project". Dad will have a Period Correct muscle Grabber and son will have a Pro Touring Grabber. Those happen to be Chevy Monza seats that fit perfectly! I picked up the wheel and tire set at NNL East this past year and this set was what got me back into the project. The first set gave the car too much rake (bigs and littles), so it sat for a couple of years. I just wasn't happy with the look and it didn't match what I wanted. The wheels were taken apart and painted Tamiya Gunmetal. The paint, as you can see, will be Camaro Synergy Green. The wheels and a home remodel held this up! I've also enclosed a picture of what I'm aiming for...courtesy of John McBride who feeds me ideas all the time...sigh! ! Edited December 17, 2016 by George Bojaciuk
dragstk Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 I like it! Im interested in your thoughts on the Gravity Colors paint. Ive seen some videos on using it. It looks like it makes for a nice finish. Or you could just finish the Grabber and you can show us all how the paint works.
GMCMAN52 Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 going to keep an eye on this project. My 1st car was a brand new 1970 grabber green Maverick.. week later it was totaled, it was a great little car. I did keep a 1:24 scale copy to remember
George Bojaciuk Posted December 17, 2016 Author Posted December 17, 2016 In my next article, I talk about using urethanes safely. You get a much more superior finish, but there are precautions you have to take while using them. Nothing extraordinary!
