    Very nice work Denny, some good specs on the motor(y) , nothing wrong with being slow although I prefer to call it deliberate....yea that's the ticket...I'm deliberate:bouncy:

    Rick, saying your slow is kind of a joke. You got not one, but TWO cars put together in the time it would take me to strip half of one down. :)

    That's gonna be one fast Grabber ... any pics of your Lime car? Going with a auto or manual tranny?

    I bought a new Ford Motorsport T5z tranny a while back (2.95 1st gear .63 OD) and a 3.55 8-inch third member from MAE with the true-trac posi. We'll see how well I matched up all of the components...it will be a drastic change from what the car had in it (mild, tired 302, c4, 2.79, etc.) when I got it.

    I wish the body looked as pretty as the motor...but the attached pic pretty much shows what the car looks like in the body shop right now. My local body shop doesn't have the equipment to flip/turn the car, so we put it on stands to get it up high enough to paint underneath it along with everything else. It will stay Grabber Lime...including the engine compartment.

    Nice ... wish my Grabber was a unique and uncommon color like yours ... Although Red cars are cool they don't really stand out at a car show or cruise-in ...
