    Well... after a long delay the body shop got some color on my car two evenings ago. Now I know what Grabber Lime really looks like..hmmmmmm :hmmm:

    I actually love the color, but I don't expect that everyone else will. At least it is original...

    Looking good Denny! Isn't it exciting to finally get paint on the car??? For what it's worth, I like the color too. Keep the pics coming!

    Looks good! A old lady in my area used to have an original Grabber in that color. Definitely gets attention.

    My 72 grabber is the same color, with green striping, it is so different I am going to keep it that way. Looks great, wish mine was to that stage, maybe this time next year.
