    My 73 is so close to being home

    It cost a small fortune but I think the body/paint came out 100%!!



    All welded in metal in the lower 1/4s and fenders
    Patches for the fenders came from donors
    Rear 1/4 patches from AMD
    Front 1/4 patches fabricated from a donor door skin..

    I know how you feel. My 74 just went into final paint yesterday, so it's getting close to coming back home.

    What's the difference between my clone and the 'real' thing? 100 more horsepower and the letter H.

    I agree, we have all thought about selling. I wont after all the effort ive put into mibe, and its not painted yet.
    Also one question, why didnt you have the shop paint the rear section behind the bumper? Mine came factory color there.
