i guess will keep this going like a project topic haha

picked up this 72 4 door in GA. Hard to get a good shape 510 down here, and I lucked out on one with a good body. Car doesn't have a motor yet, but plans are to have it running in time for Nopi this year (i am praying!)

Has Kontrolle Springs and some sort of shocks/inserts who knows, swaybars.

New rota RBs come tomorrow so will get those on. My 13s right now are for sale. 13x7

So far have engine bay done, trunk is partially done waiting for another coat. sanded all the surface rust out of the trunk. The floors in the car look great for a Georgia car it is almost unheard of to have no rot .

Just a little surface rust in some hard to reach places, but mostly i just need to sand it off.

let me know what you think is best way to deal with hood, underside is dirty i was just going to sand it and paint with high temp paint or something but dunno.

I would just put some ospho on the hard to reach areas and then paint them.

lol shopped around couldn't find any used wheels anywhere in the right size that i liked... rotas are only 14lbs and look NICE :) down the road when i have money and the motor is in i'll get some SSR MKIII which is what I wanted
