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.

That is getting closer!
Painter might already be doing this: Would recommend removing the side rockers. It's a great opportunity to paint the sill they rest on and gives a nice clean look. They come off very easily. |

The doors, lids, bumpers, etc., are getting painted today. He will start on the car after those are done.
