Nice, get it taken apart, and send it to me drblast.com and it'll be done right!

Slick looking project! Good luck with your resto.

Looks good - Air Grabber, too! The S&M sticker on the under carriage is a nice touch.

It's a great looking car....any progress shots since last year?

No, unfortunately not, but I am hoping to start the disassembly process in a few weeks...the only update so far is that I just scored a pretty decent heater box last weekend at Carlisle, but that's about it.

WOW congratulations on finding that!

Did it come with a fender tag or build sheet?

Sorry I didn't reply to you, yes it has a fender tag but no build sheet. Fortunately (and unfortunately) the interior was all removed when the original owner raced the car. However, it was stored in a garage separately and it's all in very good shape, but any build sheets that would be under the carpet, seats or dash are gone. I haven't checked inside the headliner or in the seat backs though, so there is still a chance one's left.

I have a couple front fenders that would probably be good donor patch panels for what you need. they're from a '72, but the 1/4's are good on mine, IIRC> PM me if interested.

 

[steved033]

Also, when you take the door trim off that's on the top edge of the door, can you send me a pic of what that clip looks like?
