Do you have a link to the paint please?

I'm about to do the same thing with a used wheel I've sourced. What paint did you use and is it still holding up OK? Thanks!

So it's been a busy few weeks but I'm pretty pleased with my progress and how things have turned out. It's amazing how well these old cars clean up really...

Hi Ron, took a read through your build thread, some great reference material here for my build - thank you! I may have missed it, but whose 'dark charcoal metallic' did you use for the dash, it turned out great.

I've been keeping an eye on this build thread, some great inspiration on how to tackle substantial repairs!

I'm Definitely up for building a frame jig and I've seen plenty of great examples on here. I plan to put one together from box section and set the car up using the frame dimension drawings. I think there are probably three paths... 1. Build a front clip on a separate jig and install in one...

I'm taking a good look at the options for my 73 and the Dynacorn 'Full Shock Tower Apron Assembly' looks like a great way to rebuild my front end. My car is so rotten that nearly every panel needs replacement (which is fine, I have the patience and skills) and has led me to the full assemblies...

This is all great information, were the dimensions the same across all years though? I'm looking for the same sheets for my 73 which I've just made a start on.

More progress last night, pulled the other fender, turns out I had one 71/72 fender from what appears to have been a yellow car, and one original fender, which would explain why one was shorter than the other. Will need to add a passenger fender extension to the shopping list! Plenty more rust...

Thanks, I'll be sure to give these guys a shout. Thank you for all the kind comments, I've been doing some research on how people have built jigs for their projects. This is definitely the path I want to take, does anyone know where I can get the chassis dimensions for the 73? I've seen other...

Thanks for the top tips everyone! Started stripping the front end yesterday, some of the fasteners sheared, others had to be cut out and some were just clearly wrong! I now have a lovely pile of scrap which I'm sure will grow over the course of this build, the lower valance, hood and passenger...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I learnt a lot from my first project which took best part of seven years to complete, I'm hoping to apply what I learnt to make this project even better! I fully anticipate that I will need to build a jig to work from, fortunately I have a four post as a datum, so I...

Finally I'm in a position to start my build thread! I bought this car back in 2010, I already had a project on the go but the price was right and I had storage to keep it until I was ready. Fast forward to 2021 and after completing my other build and settling down I'm now in a position to start...
