New Toy for the Collection
Well I went and got a new toy for the collection. Not sure the complete plan for it but I got a vague idea. First thing is to clean the garage so I can put it in there and start taking it apart. Although if you notice the bottom of the front fenders its gonna be interesting. I figure I'm gonna take pieces from my other 72 to build this one. All the parts that are missing i have minus the engine and transmission.

Re: New Toy for the Collection
Looks like a great project. What did the p.o. do with the bottom of the fenders? It looks like he welded them to the rockers? Oh well, nothing that a cut off wheel won't fix. Keep us updated on progress.

Re: New Toy for the Collection
Not Sure what the PO was thinking. He also Did this to the inner fener wells and the frame horns. He was planning on putting a fiberglass roll pan on the front. Now my big question. I know that the front marker lights can be shaved and still be legal but what about the rear ones? Anyone know? Also whats everyone doing for a heater box with a shaved firewall? Im sure someones run across this. All In all it wasnt a bad price for what all has been done. He also had a sweet looking 72 in the garage. Wish I had brought my camera with me. I of course asked him if he had been on the website and he had never heard of it so I had to advertise.

Re: New Toy for the Collection
Looks like the previous owner spent a lot of time and work on little things. When I look at a truck, I look at over all appereance. I don't look to much at the bottom of the fender wells. It looks like it would of been slick if he finished it. As far as the heater box, I haven't done that myself, but there is a kit called hot rod heater (I think) that has the heater core and everything for inside the firewall. If you do a search on here, you could probably find someone that has done this before. Definately makes for a slick firewall. Good luck on your project.
