Hard to believe this is the same rig you started with.

Agreed, it’s taken a while but awesome to see the vision coming together.

Sorry for your loss!

You know a build is taking too long when you are on your second clutch master and set of tires.

Thank you, there is probably another day to day and a half left. We were trying for a show this weekend but have to deal with a small hiccup.

Front belts are in, trim at back of seats is in, front driveshaft is installed with new bolts, transfer shift linkage is adjusted.

Got some time on the 72 today, odds and ends. Horns are in, relay is in and everything works. Just need to run the grounds. Clutch cover is in and doors just need last piece of weatherstripping.

Your acquisition and use of proper hardware is amazing, well done. For the show you may want to lose the zip tie, tie the end with string and tape over the string.
Is there no radiator support on driver side ?

Thanks man, we are in the process of dialing in the front end. There were some gaps and alignment that were off. The rad support is off because of this.

Zip ties and engine compartment will be one of the last things that I do. It was wired without the fenders in place and I’ll be cleaning that up.

Looks sooo nice, the time spent shows throughout.

Curious about the dash welds, were they that clean from factory ? The usual and consistent squiggle weld is not present ?
