I am in the middle of this job, though it is to convert a 72 BACK to original. A 73 front clip was grafted onto my 72 sometime in the past. I found all the parts I needed to convert the under-structure on Ebay and on this forum. I am picking up the fiberglass pieces tomorrow from j and d Corvette in bellflower, CA. I will have a total of about $2300 in parts (I got some smokin' deals on used parts). Wish me luck! Actually, it's been pretty straightforward up to this point.

No problem, I thought it was funny.

The search feature here doesn't work well unless you use advanced search to get into the archives - after a rather short period inactive threads are locked, archived and can't be found through the regular search function.
