Re: 69/72 Restoration/Rebuild (we ain't scared)
Couple more pictures for the looking... Working on it when I have time, Wife keeps saying why didn't you just paint it and it would have been fine.. They just can't see the ending product!!!

Re: 69/72 Restoration/Rebuild (we ain't scared)
Maybe I missed it but what application did that gas filler door hinge assembly come off of? What did you need to do to make it fit?

Re: 69/72 Restoration/Rebuild (we ain't scared)
I just came across this build and it's looking good. Please STOP spraying and buy a respirator and some latex gloves, so you could enjoy this ride when it's done. Paint and primer will really harm you. And thats an understatement. I've painted for 25 years. Cool mods.
