Scott S. Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 The '72 hood spear has a flat face at the front,(thanks to you guys for pointing that out.) Almost big enough to put an emblem in ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost big enough to put an emblem in ?? There should be an MC in the center on the 72 hood spear. The "sticker" is somewhat produced by the aftermarket but is not like the original. For that you need to purchase an nos 72 hood spear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Well I spent the day finishing the body gut. All done. The front and rear glass was fun by myself. lol. Ironically the windshield was still original. Now it’s time to clean it up and see what I got ( I already have a very good idea). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have body guys that work with rust repair. Me not so much. But maybe I’ll learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 All ball bustin’ aside, your tenacity is admirable. I seriously wouldn’t have clue the first on how to approach such an endeavor. I’d be researching classic car restoration places and writing checks. That said, I expect to see the “POS ‘70” at Carlisle next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Here we go again, alot of work, yes but well worth it in the end. I only see one maybe two bad spot/areas, the rest are just cut and weld in new piece/s. You can do it Dennis!!! I like Glen just keep writing the checks because i do NOT have any of that ability! However i am not pushing Dennis to see it this year, but next for sure! LOL Come on Dennis "YOU CAN DO IT"!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Sammy i think Dennis is drinking some of that funny water. When he says probably, he means yes but no rush. So i am guessing at 2 years. I think thats fair for him. He did the last one in 10 months. After all What else does he have to do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
