This is a factory black '73/'74 transitional; I've got numbers from both years in it. It had been in a fender bender years before I bought it and is missing the front serial plate. The passenger fender was replaced and the body serial was cut out of the old one and put into this one... that being said, it was done super well.
All that to say, I don't feel guilty about cutting this car. It's going in for paint this weekend. I'm keeping the factory black, but will be going all out on the paint and clear coat. Here are some before pics.

you're not painting the windshield frame? He will paint it. I trust this guy's method implicitly. I like the idea of just painting the fenders, then let them dry. Then paint the cowl and windshield frame, less of a chance for sweat to drip on fresh clear coal. Ask me how I know... Matt |
