    be veryyyy careful when cutting down that original paint!! they are very thin ......they just had an artice in hot rod....on how to take care of original paint! because the paint from the factory was very thin...they said "not" to use hard abrasive cutters and " DO NOT" use a eletric buffer! BUFF IT ALL BY HAND SO YOU DONT BURN THROUGH TO METAL! .... im looking out for the originailty of your Grabber ...ive alaways loved that car! looks great!
