A Rattie Sattie, love it, I have one. But in far worse shape than yours. My vote is get the drive train road worthy while cleaning up/up grading the interior and DRIVE IT. There is something so relaxing at first time enjoying an unrestored car with no concerns of "scratching" some up . The more...

Congrats, yours looks way better than mine. I like your 71s flush mount side markers much better than the 72,73,74 protrusions .....

But when your parked at a function with the trunk lid opened......you can rock em out.....

Im sure there are plenty of bench seat owners like me that just don't remember if the burlap was/was not used when built at the time. I recovered my 72 bench myself but did not notice anything unusual. My car was a 43k original and the foam and frames were in good, reusable condition. Ill check...

WOW, that really pops, awesome, wish one of mine was that color....:thumbsup:

Hillbilly, Congrats on your efforts, I feel once the paint is done , the major hurdle is crossed. Bolting her back together at this point is pure gravy and immense enjoyment for me. Enjoy your work, its looking real good......

We have all been there and understand that, wants verses needs. In wanting to lift a beater up to driver standards , we look for options we can afford. And, hey, I have gotten some good ones off this site I wish I had known about many years ago.....

I put one a 72 and did not trim anything on the plastic cap itself, just the cracked , pooched up parts of the old dash. Looks better the cracked busted dash , but not by much. Saw a U tube vid where a guy takes off his original, cracked dash, cuts out the high parts, fills with regular body...

I think you may be right Nacho, with out using the number no need to pay a license fee. Nacho you have many original books and have done a lot of research , you are very helpful to many here and thanks much for sharing your knowledge . I value much what you and others on this forum contribute...

Will pull the trigger on one from 440 Source, the 1001 pan LOOKED like the 971 pan but there is no reference number to a stock pan in the write up. Checking with one other local source here for a used one first. The pan I got with the car was a 187 that had been hammered in pretty good as I...

Well, what up with finding a 971 pan, are they that desirable for other years. Mancineas list for 200 bucks but are out of stock at the moment. Have no problem with a used one just don't want to pay that for a beat up one needing straightening . Found lots of new pans on flea bay that "say"...

Thanks guys, I shall be looking for a 971, that not been modified with a ball peen hammer....

Guys, am building a later model 440 to go where a 400 was originally installed in my 73. It has a 187 stamped pan that looks to be "modified" for a previous installment in its past. Will this pan work...thanks

After watching the movie "Lawless" about the Bondarant Brothers running their shine war, had to read the book, loved it. Just part of our culture . Love your vision of your 71, my 73 is coming along very similar. I swore I would not have a black car AGIAN, but this one is going to stay black...

If you have an automatic drain ALL the fluid out first.....or you will make a big mess......YES, what he said above.....

After rereading BeepBeeps original post I think I got confused. I was talking about the small C clips used along the sides to secure the headliner to the outer roof edge, which appear to be those in the pics he posted. But it does sound like he is referring to the seat belt clips attached to...

My 73 has three or four clips on each side, do look different than the ones in your pic.....

Well Terry , back in the day we would do that, bust up one to fix another. I would turn a car over just to dump the motor out. But your 50 year old pieces get more valuable each year. While they are repoping these , many prefer original if possible. So, I think all yours are repairable and...

Good info, thanks. I was not aware of the Plastex stuff and that may work. Have not used melted abs either as a patch /repair but am looking into that also. Time to get something fixed, my bumpers are back....

AMD making repops running about 485 each, front or rear, and going rates for rechroming seem pretty consistent at $500 each. I dropped several off in April this year and just got them back this past Friday. Chrome shops really backed up at the moment. Shipping to and from most out of state...
