I just started disassembly on my 75. To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever treated one to a complete factory correct restoration, so I hope to pass along some good reference points for any one else crazy enough to start one of these projects.  |

Thanks for the links Scott. Interesting reading.
Update....engine and tranny are out of the car. interior has been stripped. Aside from the rusted body panels, other areas needing replacement/repair are the inner rear fenders, trunk floor and rear subframe. The front subframe and floors are solid. The car should be going for blasting in a couple weeks.

It doesnt seem like you dawdle much, eh! Finding those inners will be a killer. BTW, Leafs suck, and go Red Wings! No hard feelings.

Scott, this isn't the first car I restored, but everyone presents its own unique challenge. Thank god I have a pair of NOS inners for the car (BTW, for the next guy who tries restoring a post-75 B-body, the inner fenders come in 2 pieces on each side). And go ahead and slam the Leafs all you want....I'm a Habs fan!!!  |

I am glad to see that some else sees the great body lines on these cars. I have a parts car and a few NOS parts left over from my restoration of "Goldie". Email with needs. RM27H9G@INSIGHTBB.COM Attachments:

Those are great looking cars and I especially like the white with the red stripes. Good luck with the resto, looking forward to the updates.
