Interior Upgrade

Before I could find time to paint the quarter extensions that I got from the '73, I found a '71 Grabber in the junkyard. I got the hood, trunk lid w/extensions, sport mirrors, package tray w/brackets, belly bar and rear bumper. The 73 bumper that I got a few week ago was in better shape so I'm using it but I'm going with the smaller brackets from the '71 to place the bumper closer to the rear panel.

I'm also getting parts off the parts car. The Carpet cleaned up real well and should take some dye to look new again. The seats were also in great shape. I will be using the rear interior side trim and seatbelts to complete the swap.

Like everything else...as soon as I change a part or two I get a better part to replace the part I just swapped out. A frirnd gave me a better seats from a 70 Maverick.

I finally removed the lower dash and installed the package tray I got from the '71 Grabber. I had to swap the driver side fresh air vent to make this happen. I opened up the '71 radio bezel to accept a very cheap aftermarket stereo and installed some 6 x9's in the rear and 5.25" in the kick panels.

I got another steering wheel off eBay to get the horn switch. The steering wheel was in better shape than my wheel so I'm using it. I replaced the old scratched up speedometer lens with a 69-70 Mustang reproduction part.
