    1972 Convertible Q code, 4 speed, Ram Air, A/C, Marti Report/Window Sticker Pics

    I'm curious as to how the spoiler was mounted. The convertible deck lid has a different rib pattern inside which conflicts with the placement of the pedestals. Most installations I have seen involved hammering the ribs under the decklid to get them shaped to accept the bolts for the pedestals.

    Feedback on Boss i'm interested in

    I'm always surprised when people to go to all this trouble to restore a car and forget to paint the steering column. Lots of key rash under the ignition switch. Definitely look under the car, tap metal things to make sure they sound like metal, use a magnet to check for bondo, get a paint...

    71 or 72?

    I'm not aware of anyone selling a well restored car who would be willing to remove a fender for any reason. I sure wouldn't, particularly if the tire kicker isn't paying to do it.

    Both latches on convertible header broken - replace entire header?

    If things get dire, I have a full '71 convertible top frame, complete with latches. Problem is, I'm in Minnesota, and it would not package well. I get to St. Louis now and then and could bring it down at least that far sometime.
