    Just signed up today, I have owned my '72 Grabber since the mid 80's. I built the 302 in 90(approx.380HP), but still not happy(need more ponies to lift the front end). I really want to find parts for it, needs rear lowers, new rear spoiler, and left rear floor pan etc. I also wold like to find a posi carrier, although they do make some high quality after market carriers. I am also going to build a 347/302 for it backed up by a TCI street fighter trans, 3200+/- stall and 370 rear gears. I love this care I just haven't had time or money to build it with having 2 children. If anyone knows how to go about locating body parts for this Mav I would appreciate it very much. I would also like some tech on which Mustange parts are interchangable. Thank You

    Post a wanted ad in the parts corral section. Perhaps someone out of the rust belt can help you. Mustang floorpans (repopped) can be adapted to fit and are likely easier to
    deal with than cutting floorpans out of a junker.

    Mostly it is mechanical and a few suspension parts that can interchange with Mustangs.
    Not much outside of that.

    Welcome aboard.
