    Alignment of 72 Front Frame Assembly

    Thanks. I purchased a 72 shop manual and it has the same drawing you forwarded. I have seen some posts where the rear measurement was corrected to 15.03. Do you know what is the correct one? Thank-you

    Alignment of 72 Front Frame Assembly

    1972 Complete Underbody Replacement

    Thanks much appreciated. I was able to get the last one in stock at NPD NC. The original is in poor condition (I live in Canada so the car did see salt in its early years). Thanks again

    72 Coupe Firewall

    Has anyone replaced an entire firewall assembly? I am installing a full floor panel but the rust continues up onto the firewall. Couldn't find toe boards and the only firewall panel that i could find for non ac was for a convertible. I inquired at NPD to see if it was only slight modification...

    Underbody Dimensions

    Purchased new frames/torque boxes from National Parts Depot and they match the originals. I have removed both frames but took a lot of measurements. The rear cross member is still in tact so i have a reference for the rear of frame for height. I did a dry fit and all pieces align very well...

    Underbody Dimensions

    I am new to the site. I found underbody dimensions on the site and when installing rear frame/torque boxes I found the rear spring rear hanger hole measurement approx 1 1/2 inches different form the original. The rest of the measurements matched the car pre disassembly. The drawing showed...
