    Got my Grabber back today. Painter did and incredible job matching color and "burning" in the repair ... it is totally invisible. Got the car back nicer than I dropped it off since he fixed the chipping paint around the mirrors and door handles and fixed the 4 inch long scratch down to the primer on the roof. Of course ... the dents and chips in the hood and fender are gone as well. Plus a fresh polish and coat of wax.

    I'm really happy about getting the roof finally fixed. I was so pissed at myself when I did that 5 years ago ... and I had to see it evertime I washed the car ... but no more!

    I circled the areas that were damaged and he repaired ...

    Looks good.

    I wouldn'tve waxed it so soon, as I've heard its not good on fresh clear, but apparently I'm wrong cuz your body man does great work

    Glad to see i back in on the road again, glad Hagerty didn't give you any problems either.

    I have to say i love that color combo, And those Slot mags only make it look better.

    Looks great Dan! He did a great job!!! You need to bring it to Silver Springs in January now. Looks like we're going to have a good Maverick showing. :)
