By the looks of it, all that sanding looks like it is going to be worth it when the color is applied.

Started working on sanding down the tailgate for primer. Fixed the turn signal cancelling springs they were $2.00 at the autoparts store.

Bought a better sized V-belt for the power steering pump.

BigCountryx · 01-05-2012, 10:18 PM

Al, I did cry a little..... As far as damage, fender, inner fender, battery tray, radiator support, hood, inner grill, outer grill, headlight pieces etc. And alot of panel alignment. Think it's still straight, but guess time will tell. Meeting with adjuster tomorrow.

Looks great. That's one of the mods that's on the list for mine ... but it has had a bad priority rating in the great scope of things.

How did that happen?

sanford66 · 01-06-2012, 02:02 AM

Got my front park lights/turn signals working on the 72 this morning. I know, not a big deal, but it will save me some hassles with the local cops! Joseph

Good luck with the adjuster......As long as the frame is good it should be an easy fix.

Long sory short, I was traveling west. She was pulling out of a parkinglot wanting to turn east (left). She was watching traffic in the east bound lane trying to shoot the gap and never looked my way. Her head was still turned when she made contact.
