    Yes Yes Yes - a resto of a 73 with a white interior!!!  Thank you for some well needed motorvation!!! Not to mention the pics ;)

    On your header panel, someone on the board recently had thiers repaired around the headlight area by a Corvette shop i believe and it came out very well. If yours isn't too bad maybe you could go the same route ::)

    74Chall, that'll be an awesome project.  I think the Plum Crazy paint job with white interior will look great!  I've still been deciding what color I should go with for my interior...White would look awesome, but black would be nice too.  It's just a hard decision.  Good luck with the restoration and as already stated, be sure to let us know how everything's coming along with a short description or photos.......You already know we all love pics! ;) ;D :P

    NZ it really wasnt meant like that. I just have had so many people come over ( buy parts,etc) And say You have a chevys? Like its a bad thing or soemthing. I liek all types/brands of cars. A mopar guy is no different then a chevy guy. We are all hot rod/ classic car enthuasist. Just some times wether its a mopar,ford or chevy owner, theres that crowd that acts like a corvette owner...
    Just my opinion.
