Hi,  You will find that the most of the measurements between the 71-73 are similar, but there appears to be one dimension that is way off, and that’s the rear leaf spring mount to baseline dimension.  There is a difference of over 2.5 inch between the 71 and 72/73 diagrams, and it’s also making...

Thanks. Braces are already in place and I have 10 jack stands used to support frame front, center and back.

Hi,  I need to replace my inner rocker panels. The corrosion is severe on the lower portion of the panel.    The front section doesn’t seem to be too complicated and is almost out.  However, could someone kindly explain how to remove it from the back section?    it seems to be really...

Many thanks for your recommendations. I just wanted to make sure that the same part was used for convertibles and coupé/fastbacks.   

Thanks. And yes, there is some rust on the cowI around the area where the heater box mounts to it but it’s not too bad. The cross member is solid though and so are the radius mounts  so all in all I don’t think it’s too bad. The floors are corroded in some areas but the additional sections, both...

Hi and thanks for your reply. I actually put a down payment on the car as it was advertised on eBay. I was about to send the balance funds before putting on hold due to this photo. I don’t mind some surface corrosion but anything more will be an issue as I still need to get the car shipped over...
