    Hey Pete, I'm sorry about your car getting messed up. I saw some videos of it on YouTube. Looks like you are making good progress and I know it's going to be nice when you are done. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

    here's a few pics of the T/A that kenny put on his website the replacement door(picked up a pair of 70 chally doors for $200) and the car on the frame machine.  She is starting to look better.

    Save the radiator support if you can (looks doable).  IT's got your numbers on it.

    Full-blown rotisserie or just the top part being redone?

    Grafting numbers that way is illegal. Do everything you can to save the original.  :2cents:

    I'd save the old upper tie-bar, from the pics it looks very fixable

    looking good so far
     if the engine works well just do some checks & leave it alone , I would graft the new wall for the rad onto the top brace with the #s on it if possible

    That grille does look great! I wish they had '70 Cuda grilles that nice for the price you paid.. glad you were able to locate one for your project.
