Put a huge 747 wing on the trunk of the B















[borat]NOT[/borat]


Picked up a 73 B this afternoon. Bodys fairly strait with the exception of the right front wing which looks like it's been bondo'd at the turnsignal/marker light. Bonnet is rough. Floors are perfect for Fred flintstone. Sils and rails look good so far. Rest looks decent and is mostly complete minus original seats and front bumper. Paint is well unique and ugly but should clean up to a only slightly hidious level. Only seen one major dpo mod with a cut crossmember behind the transmission x memeber. Its been parked inside for close to 8 years.

Should be a good winter project.

There will have to be a figure out what the seats are really from contest.

I am not responsable if your monitor cracks

Alternator is "interesting"
engine turns over freely
carbs seem to be in good shape and the pistons move freely
tunk is solid
there is an unholy funk coming out of the gas tank
top is in near new condition
a quick hit with rubbing compound on the right rear and half the trunk turns it from scaring small children and animals to small children and animals crossing the streen and covering there eyes as they pass.
