That very first shot is odd Mark...Its a 1974 car, but it has a fuel pump cover like the 1975-76 cars? I have never seen or heard of this before on any 1974 car...is it true?

Yep it is a 75-76 cover. I have been working on this car from the back to the front - last thing I did was to covert to a 75-76 pump and relocate it. This is really the worst part of the car past or present. I still have a little welding to do to the battery tray and engine shelf but that is a cakewalk compared to the front trunk. Rear trunk is perfect.

Mark

Jenny - it is a midwest car - ask rustboy (Lawrence) what he had to do to his.. I really would not consider saving it but it is an LE. Rare in these parts - common in CA.

The channels will be pretty easy - bend up some sheet metal and cut to fit, weld grind weld some more grind a little more. I do not mind the work, but I gotta find the front trunk piece or pieces to rip out the old rusty one. This will not be done quickly, plan is to do this over the winter. Engine is rebuilt (stock 2.0 with FI) brakes are done, possible repaint next year. It is a creamsicle.

Cut 22 or 20 guage sheet to the right size use a metal brake to bend it and weld it on. It is actually two pieces. I'm terrible at explaining how, I 'm better at showing you how. I'm replacing a large chunk of my front channel this Sunday. I'll take a few pics and explain how I do it. That is typical mid-west rust. My back trunk was about that bad, it is now fixed and looks great, my front trunk is solid, but the seal channels are bad.

It amazes me how these cars all rust in different ways. My donar cars front and back trunk are perfect and the floor boards are perfect, but the hell hole, longs, sail panels and front fenders are swiss cheese. I'm basically taking two 73 2.0 and making one good one. Welcome to the rust belt! Good luck Engman! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

The heresy with which you speak young man.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Turns out there are not that many in CA...something like about 10-12 are *believed* to be here but the records are not complete...

Canada has about 10 also, including some of the nicest known to exist....the rest are scattered around the USA here and there...and a Bumblebee has been located in der fatherland

There are only 30-some Creamsicles known to exist...you are to be applauded. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Got it Mark. I'll see if we have a white 73/74 front clip. You have a lot of spot welds to remove. The entire front panel needs to come off. I'll bring a complete front panel with buckets and floor all the way to the wall. It is too bad we cut this current car the way we did. Fortunately the others are cut differently.

Jeff,

I spoke with Louis today and asked him if any Grasshoppers had been through the shop. He has been with HPH for 10+ years. I asked if he had parted out any LE's that may be buried upstairs. He said no.. but knew of some pieces upstairs.
