Body seams on a 73
On a 73 where are the factory seams where the body pieces are grafted togeather? Im mainly interested in the rear half of the car. A link to a photo showing all the pieces would be great.

You could go into vanacor's site and look at the replacement panels, you should be able to get an idea that way.

You can also see where the seams are because there are bonding strips inside the body, many are visible from underneath. Maybe someone else will post here with drawings, but I don't know of any.

Don't know if this helps or not, but here is a picture of my 75 after I stripped it down to the fiberglas.
The pink areas just below the lip of the body lines is what I was told is the factory body filler of the seams. Didn't see any other than down each side of the car and a few areas where a nick or crack might have been.
