    Think I have everything I need to get started with the repairs on the 74 LDO. Going to use parts off of the 70 as I will sadly probably never get that car built. The 74 will be converted to small bumpers, but retain the 74 LDO trim on the roof. Planning on pulling the 6 and use a 302. (if anyone in the Phoenix area needs a good running 250 A/T I will be selling the running package). Not sure if I am going to keep the stock silver blue metallic and white combo (will go wimbledon white if I do) or do a gunmetal/titanium combo. Blue and white would be easiest as the other will require dyeing the interior. Let me know your thoughts as I can't seem to decide!

    That interior is super rare....please don't change that.

    I wouldn't change the car at all....but that is me.

    I am leaning that direction, but may change the pure white to whimbledon white. Just can't decide and I want to get going on it.
    :hmmm:
