After reading a lot of helpful build threads, I swore I'd return the favor. Then I stripped her down without a writeup, so time to catch up...
This is a '74 that my parents bought around '76. SBC conversion not long after that. Factory air.
My dad set this thing up to tow, and it is STIFF. Added 1 leaf in front, two in back iirc.
This was a daily driver for close to 30 years, my daily driver for about 7 of that. She's been sitting for the last few, due mostly to doors that were ready to fall off. I've been planning this operation for a long time. Planning is too strong a word.
Driver's side front fender is pretty bent up following a collision with an AMC Pacer when I'd had my license for maybe two months. Both front fenders are rusted through. Both back corners are also rusted through. I see just enough rust on the rockers to think they're ready to go - so I picked up a pair of IPOR's rockers. Too bad I don't know how to weld - yet.
I'm starting with the body, as the drive train still works (more or less).
