Another interesting thing in that picture is the 'tab' that's on the metal heat shield. (you see a stud and nut on it).
There's often questions about just what shape that bend was. This looks like a nice original one. What year is your car?

Hi Alan!
It's a 1973, I had a NCRS judge look it over this week (no real depth) and he felt this was a fairly original car.
I sold the 78 I did last year to buy this car and plan to restore it this winter.
I just started a new restoration thread and would love for you to be a part of this project as well as all the others who have posts here.
I don't have the budget or skills to do frame off at this point but want to restore it as close as possible to her birthdate glory.
This is why I asked a question about the PB and how important it might be to keep during the restoration process.
Here is the thread I just started on the restoration.
