Default 1973 project

I took the 73 in to the shop on 5/31/07. Going to rebuild the 351c, add an 1800 stall converter and the 3.91:1 trac lok.

Took a few pix with the hood and grille off for the trip.

I also told the mechanic that I was going to be selling my 71 coupe and he wanted to see it. I took it by and he liked it and said he would think about it. He called me an hour later and made me an offer and I took it. We are going to see how much the engine is going to cost and he will pay me the rest.

Took some pix of the 71 too.

That 71 is clean. It just needs some elbow grease expended on the interior and the engine bay.

i like the 71 not a fan of the side pipes tho while the engine is out id clean up and paint the engine bay its easy with no engine. trick i leaned cheap alum fold wrap it around wires hoses etc etc you dont want paint on easyer then masking it and removes just as easy
