I have a nice bird cage from a late 71
basically a rear clip
firewall to the back of fiberglass tail light section. If I cut fiberglass behind the vents, shipping would be cheaper.
From BC Canada Eh??
I bought this from New York for the rear fenders and tail light section
Let me know what works for you, or available to any forum member
Thanks, Grant

Thank you Grant. Is the birdcage completely stripped down to see what may lie underneath relating to any existing rust or corrosion?

Do you have any photo's?

Thank you again,
Jeff

hi Jeff
The body is still on the bird cage I have not taken it off
You get the whole thing
If you are restoring a 71 then get the right stuff
FYI if you buy a 74 bird cage you will have problems installing the wiper door as the configuration is different because 74 did not have the wiper doors, Then you will have to take it apart again and then buy a correct one, So buy it right the first time and not the second time around.
However if you are customizing and don't care then the 74 will work. Anything works if you put lots of fiberglass on it.

Send me an email to grantwong@telus.net and I will send you pics of what you need.


Grant
