Does this car belong to any one here? Shows to be in San Diego, CA. Says complete restoration before it was hit. Donor car that goes with it is a 75.

Could someone tell me what's so wrong about using a 75 clip to repair a six front end? I know it's modified for the bumper shocks, has the fuel pump cover & has the curved front reinforcements, but so what? If your going to replace the whole front clip anyway, the differences could easily be cut & welded away. I actually have a set of the curved reinforcements I was planning to install them in my original six when I get around to redoing her & was also thinking of getting a fuel pump cover & installing that as well. I can see not doing so for a restoration, but for a restomod why not? (I'm not talking legal or moral here, just physically.)

Could someone tell me what's so wrong about using a 75 clip to repair a six front end? People pay more for original look and feel. I personally would never use anything but a '70 clip to fix a '70 /6. In fact, all the sheetmetal i accumulated for my /6 repair is a exact match to what is being replaced. Everything else is a hack and will diminish the value of the car ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
