I talked with the guy on the phone & he says it's a 73 2.0 car. It was in dry storage for a while but he couldn't find any rust. BOth trunks look good & he says below the battery there is NO Rust. I know I will believe that when I see it myself. Still I asked him to send me some pictures. I see bumper tits on the front bumper & know it's a 74. I also see Mahle wheels & an LE front spoiler (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Car runs & shifts great too! The side stripe isn't the right color for an LE though right? How can I find out if it is an LE? Vin#? Then where would I find LE vins? Attached image(s)

It took me 4 tries and I'm still not happy with it, but I got sick of trying and it's pretty close now. Anywhooo... I can tell you a couple things not to do, when preping to paint. For one thing double check the type of sandable primer you use. Don't use lacquer primer with acrylic paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I actually knew that, I just didn't think they sold lacquer primer at Napa, and apparently I'm too stupid to look. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Every day of my life, I live & learn... Oh well, nothing sandpaper can't fix... I have a touch up gun that works pretty good for small areas.
