I wouldnt say its frowned upon. Personally, in CA, not necessary and I like the clean unaltered look of body color inside the fenders.

Would that be for the second horn that 1971 cars were not supposed to have? Correct! Either it was added at dealer or after by a P.O. First time I have seen one with the wiring outside the trunk, makes it look like its smiling at me. |

Another critical spot to look. Under the headlight bucket. Be sure this is clear of debris and not rusting at all.

Some updates. Front fenders have been stripped of undercoating using heat gun and mineral spirits. Struts cleaned and painted, new brake lines installed. New bearings packed with grease and now waiting on new rotor protective plates, and calipers being rebuilt.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-10656-1374866855.1.jpg) Removed rear valance and need to price repair versus replace. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-10656-1374866855.2.jpg) Interior new upholstery is all done and waiting on new carpet. |
