Good progress so far!
What are your thoughts on the gator grain top, are you going to put on a new one soon, or wait on a ground up restoration to replace that?
I stored my '71 last month and one of the cars at the facility there is a gator grain T/A! It's F4 green, was also an auto converted to 4 speed. Sadly, I was told its been sitting there around 25 years, and it's a gonna restore it someday but almost certainly never will story. Down the line maybe there will be an estate sale situation and it will get in the hands of someone who will do it. Looked pretty solid from what I saw, and at least it's inside and dry.
A guy somewhere in the area who posts here sometimes, hato, says he has an F4 gator grain too.
And in 2008 I bid on a restored B3 gator grain 4 speed at a Mecum auction. I didn't win it, but just as well, it was restored from a rust bucket, had Palco door panels, repro hood, and who knows what else wrong with it. Cool to see though as gator grain tops are a rare sight!
