Has anybody ever had problems with aftermarket air grabbers from places like classic industries?? I was told they don’t fit that well but original ones are getting crazy expensive. Any help would be great thanks

Might try N96airgrabber.com and ask. They know quite a bit about A/G systems.

That looks amazing how much did don hall charge? I’m looking at an original right now with a crack in the front by the sticker and may buy it

fstbrd69 it was $400/$600 but he sand blasts it and xrays it so he can see all the cracks then repairs them . he removes all the rivets and replaces them with the correct rivets all new seals . if you go on his facebook page you will see his work . and call his great guy to work with and he takes pictures of everything he does to your airgrabber.

If you don’t mind me asking, how much were they wanting for a damaged air grabber. I’m looking at a pretty rough one here and the guys wants $400 for it. Is that in the ballpark??? Thanks
