    I should be getting the car delivered tomorrow. I am planning on stripping it to build up my '72 4 dr:))). It is time for a 2dr to feel the pain of being stripped and dumped in a junkyard.

    Stuff I need that I hope works on my 4dr:

    Bucket seats & back seat
    floor shifter
    windshield
    rear end or just axles (5 lug)
    Front disk brakes/5 lug deal
    Brake booster
    v8 bracket & mounts
    Racing mirrors
    Misc parts & maybe the 302 if I can get it running (while I save for my 351w rebuild & cam)


    I will get pics up just in case anyone here needs anything else off of it.

    I don't think the back seat will work. As far as I know a 2dr back seat is narrorer than a 4dr back seat

    You can use everything except the back seat. You will need to make some spacers or do other fabrication for the bucket seats to fit, especially the passenger side. '76 cars had catalytic converters and the floor on the passenger is shaped differently than years that did not have catalytic converters.

    Thanks guys. I will make them work :)

    I'm in New Mexico. It might be a bit of drive for you, but you are welcome to the door(s) and seat.

    Ok, my wife likes the 2dr better than the 4dr so I may keep them both :O
    I am going to see if I can get the 302 to turn over and check the compression (After I clean it).
    THe oil looks somewhat new. The engine is filthy and was sitting without a carb so dirt fell down in the intake.
    I am going to pull the top apart and clean it, then try to get an idea of how healthy the engine is. If it is decent, it will hold me over while I build my 351.[​IMG][​IMG]
