Hello all,

Gonna take her back to the original color but keeping the 440. gonna need a roof reskin and maybe rh door reskin. drivers floorpan needs rr. will post some pics up soon. Got her home on the 15th  and shes been pressure washed, interior stripped, tuned, greased, oiled, gauge cluster is killin me previously someone ran all the wires in the fender well to clean the engine bay up and i have a mess under the dash  ( may have to do a new harness)    :( no build sheet or fender tag. bummer
Mahalo for the great site.
Steve

Aloha and welcome to the site, Steve.  My last visit to the Islands was back in 1976.  I hope to go back again someday.  That's a nice '73 you found!  :2thumbs:
