Welcome! Pretty nice gaps. A lot of mid 70's Vettes had nasty panel fit.

Transplanted Texan here! Every time Jebby posts something and I see "New Braunfels" below the name I can't help but wonder if Der Schlitterbahn is still open. Between My Sharona and the tragic freak accident at one of their parks, I could see them being forced to close (I hope I'm wrong).

That '74 looks exactly like an old friend's car ... all the way to the wheels. He purchased the car new in Cleveland, TN. Any chance that is it? Last knowledge I had of it was owned by a fellow named Randy Scoggins.

"If" that is it, I prepped the car for the black paint. It was originally orange.
