'73/4 front bumper. What's the VIN?

Posted by: Smallblockbug Sep 7 2015, 04:54 PM

It's a 72 vin. The bus in the background isn't mine. I have a 62 pan pa title not in my name $250. Adjustable link pin beam drum to drum $250. 15x7 wide 5 rims $300 never been mounted other then to set on a drum. Old school drag swing axle transmission $150. Crossover exhaust $80. Set of wide 5 drums ready to go with bearing for front drums $80. Or $900 all. Located at 13495 yorkville ny. Until everything sells I get to just look at the car. I also have a little bit of rabbit stuff as well.

Lol. Just checking as he was a metal working guy on there years ago. Use to stretch ghia fenders to fit wide tires. I'm sure I will be around off and on depending on cash flow.

Step 1 remove trim and vinyl. Step 2 figure out what is the best way to smooth it all out.

Its green. The red was done in the past at some point.

Posted by: Smallblockbug Sep 20 2015, 06:11 PM

Found rust but it was expected. Nothing out of my realm of expertese. Just need to sell my bug parts to get the project off the ground.
