Paint last weekend. Murphy's law struck. After unloading car and backing into the paint booth, lifting and removing tires/rims and bagging the brakes, we noticed a crack in the primer of the bumper. We had talked about flex additive, before purchasing materials, but completely forgot.:-/...

Everyone, thanks for the information. :thankyouyellow:

Something to think about - mine were the complete bright bucket originally. I had planned on painting the bucket black and leaving the rim shiny - mach 1. But, we could just pull the trigger and order the lamps and paint the complete bucket black.:chin:. Thanks!

I like that look on the 71.::thumb:: After I get the lights installed and working I may have to get a black background lamp and see how they look in the 73 bucket.

Are the Hella's plug & play? Will they work with original wiring and switching?

Checking to see if anyone out here has been exposed to these or would have an opinion? 7_ Round H6024 LED Sealed-Beam Headligh...ED Car Light Bulbs _ Super Bright LEDs.pdf

Rewind: Seat installation I had purchased the Cerullo seats as my drivers seat frame was broken and I was looking to upgrade. Upon installation, my towering (5'8") frame caused my hair to brush on the new headliner. We decided to remove the seat pans. We also had to modify the seat mount...

Thanks. I have seen good reviews for the tires, but do not know anyone with them. A number of the reviews mentioned high noise and with the size of the rain channels, I can believe. The rears are 275 40 18 and the fronts are 245 45 17. I have had the steering gearbox rebuilt by Power...

:whistling: Hard to imagine that this much time has passed since posting. We have been working (slowly) steadily on the car since my last post. I hope that I have archived photos so that I may catch everyone up to the progress we had made. I do have recent photos of the latest tasks...

High Praise coming from you! I hope when done this is 1/2 as clean as yours. Thanks to all contributors on this site. I had not considered starting this project until I had spent over 30 hours on this site ogling all the cars and getting "edumakated" :D Could not be happier at this point -...

Hey! Back from sabbatical! Between summer things, working on car and then (old) computer issues, I have not been active here for a while. Replaced computer last week and snowed in today ( drove 3 feet off of sidewalk - 40 minutes to get back to driveway - front wheel drive car) so I have time...

Engine Done. Hope the rest of the car looks as good! I also hope it fits under the hood!

Summer is starting to get in the way of progress at this point. Ordered some parts and waiting to install transmission and engine (close but not complete yet). We're at the point where finishing something requires another thing to be done. The most visible point of progress: Installing the...
