I was trying to get the steering wheel off my 73 this past weekend but had no luck. I removed the section that has the horn (that section goes from 9 to 3 o'clock) and the nut securing the wheel to the steering column. Am I missing something? I've been able to remove the steering wheel in the...

Not starting sooner :-/

Hi all! I was working on removing the windshield of my 73 vert and was wondering what I can use to get all that black gunk off the frame. I tried scrapping it off, but wondered if there was a chemical that could expedite the process. Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion..the engine is still in the engine bay, but hasn't started in years! I was trying to figure out a way to roll it around without putting the wheels on dollies. I think I have an idea of what to do now..thanks for the responses!!

Has anyone attempted to reset their odometer on their '73? I am tinkering around in there and cannot seem to figure out how to release the numbers from the unit. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Welcome John! I am fairly new also. I like to read the various posts to see what info I can gather. I also have posted a couple of times when I come across some specific questions. Everybody has been great in answering any questions you have.... Enjoy!

Thanks! I'll give that a try.....

Hello all - I recently removed the vinyl off the top and all I have left is the frame. Everything is still attached to the body. My question is this - does anyone know how to retract the frame so it is out of the way? I seem to be able to get it to lift maybe a quarter of the way, though...

Thanks jorgem...

Since the weather is starting to get better, I was wondering if someone could share a procedure to remove the trim around the windshield (73 convertible). I started to play around with it a little late last fall but couldn't seem to loosen the trim. Thanks! Joe

Hello! Just joined the site a few weeks ago...so far this has been the best forum I have run across. I own a 73 Convertible that I am in the process of stripping down (just started early last fall). I have no skills doing body work or welding, so I have to send the old gal out. I hope to get...

Thanks for the ideas everybody! I will present the question in the Intro section...thanks Doc.... I started disassembling my car last summer. Spent a couple of days working on getting the front bumper, fenders, and convertible top off. I should have started earlier in the summer, but didn't...

Hello all. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on this one. I am in the very early stages of restoring my 73 convertible and wanted to try using as many original parts as possible. Does anyone know of a place that could restore the center consoles and maybe dash? I am also wondering of...
