I think 72 is the same as the 70–71 panel, like this:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1785-1353603470.jpg) I am restoring a 70 and it's got a factory replacement panel, but its ... it's actually a bit odd. I think it is a "vintage" version of a 75–76. It has no bumper holes but does have holes for the rubber plugs below, and it has (kind of nice) drain corrugations in the upper seal channel.. It was apparent to start that it wasn't installed very well, I think it's brazed in all around. and some gaps in the lower corners and problems with the seal channels. The gaps at the top of the lower support on both sides bug me. It's a problem with the shape of the late panel, the early panel goes back all at once, without tho step that the late has. As I get into it, more hacks come up that were done to make the panel work. The late panel, the headlight buckets are sort of stepped at the front where the early are straight across so mine have been slit and pounded down to fill the gap, and then covered with seem sealer. After scraping the sealer: As I am prepping this area for paint and working out the seal channels, it's seeming more and more like replacing the front panel is probably the best course of action, the differences between the late and early really adding up. So looking for an early front panel/front clip, in the socal area. Have Sawzall and will cut. I think to get it intact I need to take a bit of the front of the fenders and lower pan and headlight buckets as these areas will take some time to properly separate. |
