Thanks all for the GREAT welcome to the forum. Took the Gridiron Grabber to the a better level using a Packer theme. At the rear side, you can see the fuel line has to be attached after the fenders & tank is in place.  From the 2 side shots, you might make out the hand made Distributor & Coil. Also taped to the vise is the drying headlights which I modified for a cleaner look from the front (future picture update will display the look).     Still have to detail the helmut and shoulder pads. Now, my main question.....is this a Showrod or what? (Sorry Fred, couldn't find any purple paint or horns). |

[glow=green,3,300]Go PACK GO![/glow] Hey pegleg, welcome to the Corner!...that's comin' along nice! I've done a few of these in NFL themes. Nice touch. You gonna make some decals for it! Of course some "G",s for the sides of the helmet, "PACKERS" in "acme stencil" lettering for the blowers, and maybe the one of the old logos for the shoulder pad sides. print out a little "Title Towel" to lay on the seat. A Cheese wedge shift knob?
Like Fred said...maybe the #4 on the back of the Helmet!
Hey Fred...sorry about 'dem der Vikes...maybe next year. I made some "Vikings decals for BiLL a while back...he was gonna make a Vikings Grabber....what happened BiLL?.....did ya lose 'em on the "Love" Boat Cruise ;D
Yeah I'm a huge Packers fan down here in Illinois(Bear Country)and of all the darn luck..the Bears moved their summer training camp two blocks down my street 
I've got a "Packers"room in my basement called Lambeau South. I hand painted a replica of Lambeau Field 360 Degrees on the walls with working stadium lights, scoreboard, blimps, field markings and every collectible you can think of. I'll have to take and post some pics. I even made a Glass top table out of a Chevy truck tailgate(painted Green & Gold of course)
Oh..nice and clean work area by the way!

I heard about Jerry G's Packer party this weekend. He is going to do that rather than make the trip to Milwaukee to see some real hot rods ;D
We will all be huddled together in front of about 3 or 4 tvs while the show is going on.
GREAT JOB ON THE GRABBER!!!!

Ya mean JerryG's Packer Party! Yeah Mark I was going to go until I heard the game was Saturday and I already invited people over for the game(Gotta start the smoker at 5a.m.....bacon wrapped pork loin roast stuffed with mushrooms, onion, garlic smoking over a pan of apple juice.(Can't disappoint the boys comin' by). I really wanted to go to the Milwaukee show. We'll meet up some other time..when Dan has the get together for the Volo. Now I want Pictures...ok.. JerryG |

wow...nice job !!!
i've never cared much for this kit myself (as a builder)...but that engine would be great for kitbashing.
being from wisconsin...i have to say, green & yellow look good together.
i'm not a football fan at all by the way.

Jerry..Sounds like a Party at your place.. Go Pack....
I'm liking the packers chances to go to the Bowl.. And Kill
the pat's..... I think Paul is a Pat's fan..? Yes I'm a Big Vikings
fan I can't believe you are too Fred.. I've liked them as a
kid in the early `70's living in N.Y.C.. Caught hell for not being
a Giants / Jets fan.. But I do love my Giants too! And we should
take out the Cowboys this week.. I'm all eyes on the games and plastic....
Oh and Yeah Jerry I have the decals you made me and can't wait to start a Grabber someday..Maybe when the vikes make the playoffs I'll start..Could take forever..lol
I just started 2`40's and a`50 Ford. Like I have time for them..
BiLL..
