Lookie what I came home with a couple of weeks ago! 1972, all rust removed and repaired, professional mother of pearl white paint. new seats, bumpers rechromed, new carpet, new windshield, new this, new that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
http://www.facebook.com/james.d.lane?ref=tn_tnmn I'll have to figure out how to post. Anyway, long story short...a co-worker of mine treated this project as a payit forward and sold me the restored car and the complete but unrestored 76 for a grand total that is about unmentionable on here. I'm excited to be a part of this community. I am anxiously reconnecting all the electrical hardware and prepping the engine and trany to install so I can take her for a maiden voyage!

what is some quick adjustment advice i can do to increase the gap at the bottom of this door? Look for rust in the pass. side longitudinal, that gap very much looks like your car has some serious rust problems ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I will have to talk to the previous owner. he said they broke it all down and removed/repaired all rust. I wondered if they didn't have a brace in the door way when they repaired sections under the door. It looks to me like the body is upheaved, not sagging. |

I see the correct repairs all over on the undercarriage of this car I don't think they would have intentionally neglected anything. He put a few thousand into the body work and paint job. |
