![]() This is the '73 I picked up about a few years or so ago. Saved it from being cut up for scrap.
Pans are bad. Body is in real good shape, only a couple of rust issues to deal with. Couple of dents in the drivers side where the fenders took a hit. Once completed it will look like a '70 model which is my favorite year. But since I don't have one... I'll make due with what I do have. Mods I have planed: 1_ Watson's StreetWorks modular wiring kit. 2_ Remove the fat chick vents behind the quarter windows. 3_ Seal up the fuel door and change it to like pre '68 models. 4_ Fill in the fresh air vents in the trunk lid, and in the dash. ( I'd rather have the windows down) 5_ Shaved front turn signals with H4 headlights. 6_'70 model tail lights. 7_ 2" Narrowed beam with adjusters, factory style front disc brakes.(no kit) This is the pics PO took of it... So they are the before. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a Bus Selecta view of my goal for "The after." ![]() It begins: Unbolted pan. Done fair, only broke two bolts. Removed fuel tank and unwired what was left hooked up. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jacked up the car and seperated it from the pan. Walked pan out the side with a floor jack so I wouldn't have to raise it so high. Winds can be a problems out here. Like last night, I've got buckets and other stuff scattered out every where today... It will give the kids something to do after school. :twisted: Removed the AC condenser. Discovered the passenger side lower tube on the beam appears to be bent back about a 1/2 inch. Hummmm.... Hit something with the tie down loop I suspect. It's been displaced from it's original position. ![]() ![]() Removed the axles & trany. Just have to bring my sawsall home from work Monday and prepair to do some cutting. Picked up replacement beam, got a good sterring box to boot. ![]() Waiting on rotors to be re stocked so I can order them... I need them to measure for the narrowing... After waiting two months for my main supplier to restock their disc rotors with the centering ring I gave up and went to AircooledParts. That was last Thusday. I went yesterday and picked them up. Yea! This project has been on hold due to $$$ issues. Things are looking up for work to resume this spring of 2009. ![]() |
