Hi kc,
I enjoyed looking at your site and pictures again.
I especially enjoy the chassis section which is my favorite part of restored cars.
I have the remains of one of those 'grinder tattoos' on my left index finger. It's still a pleasant reminder from about 15 years ago!
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Great website!!! Love the documentation... Question, with all the rust on the frame and lower birdcage why didn't you pull the windshield to inspect the windshield frame??? Sorry, if you did pull the windshield and I just missed it on your website... It is nearly certainty that there is rust in the windshield frame with so much rust below it... Would hate for you to do sooo much good work on the car and then have to back track and fix the windshield frame down the road...

You are doing awesome work!!! Another '73 saved...

Hi Rogman16, thanks for your comments... to answer your question, I havn't pulled the windshield yet. I've been waiting until I get the body mounted and tightened down, as I figured it might help with some rigidity with body flex while it was off the chassis. Not sure if it really mattered, but I figured better to be safe then sorry... :-)
