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!

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. :D

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
