After a bit of searching, I can start my build thread!
It was a bit of searching, but I found a clean ’72 shell out of West Virginia and had it shipped. At least, I’m pretty sure it’s a ’72 – that’s what I’ve been told, but I’ll know more once I start digging into it. The whole thing was already sandblasted & primed, so bit of a bonus there. I think the previous owner had plans but couldn't go through with them anymore. I’m gonna go a factory-restoration route, I think it’d be really good practice before I get my 2nd one; that’ll be more of a restomod I’m already brainstorming. So far I’ve managed to get it into the garage and up on jack stands. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-25580-1622681988.1.jpg) |

While waiting for the transmission to get back from being checked out at the shop, managed to clean up the trailing arms, pack the wheels bearings into the hubs and mount the hubs.

And to help mount them up, sourced from Koni red shocks. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-25580-1623532952.1.jpg) |
