    Those are the nicest floor pans ive ever seen on a Junkyard car. You may have more fun working on the 72 than you do on patches. Sometimes its more fun to start over on a new project and do the simple things again.

    Re-installed frt valance after detailing some frt end parts. And most important -- went to "KRUZE NIGHT" Thursday and Friday. Had to get it out while we get a break in the rain. We been gettin 4 or 5 rainy days and maybe one day of decent wx. We got do beautiful days in a row - had to take advantage of them.
    Wish we cud send some of the rain to some of the places where drought a big factor.

    That shroud extends way bk in the engine compartment; It looks like it's a foot or so deep. What kind of engine is in that car?
    BTW: I like the alum grille pan.

    It is deep, it came off a Nationwide Cup car...For now it's just a little 289 with a cam and some compression....If i really like the car when it's finished i'll probably look into a 347
