The kids and I pulled the ‘71 into the warehouse at my office and began the poking and prodding to determine the extent of restoration needed.

I removed the engine lid, rear engine valence and the rear lights.

I then took off the front wheels to inspect the brakes and wheel arches. Looks like arches will need some welding and the brakes will need to be totally re-done.

I also found that most of the front nose is actually filler, so I will probably be replacing that eventually

.

The chasis was a little rusty, but solid.

There’s also plenty of smaller areas that will have to be patched.

Going to be lots of work!
