Well its been awhile since I have been on here And I started a thread up in the main fourm and then noticed that there was a project thread, so here it goes.

I have finally been able to start work on my 72 coupe, I had to sell my 71 sedan since i was involved in a accident, and money got tight but thought I would share smoe pics of progress on my coupe

This is what it looked like when I first got it
