Anyway congratulations on the find, :grinyes: :drool: :cool: -Jim

     :worship: I love it 74!! You made an awesome deal!! Looks like you are diving right into the resto already. I would love to find one of those, especially at that price!  :thumbs: 
    My dad bought a new 68 RR back when I was in high school, I beat the livin tar out of that car!!! Some fond memories come back when I see that 68 of yours. Here's a picture, the only picture that was ever taken of the car, it just happened to be in the background. Was actually taken of some of my family back then, this was taken some time in early 69 I believe.
    Way to go 74!

    Fenders had some hidden collison work.
    I got them down to bare metal today and did the metal work on the worst one. Someone used a dent puller and never welded the holes shut and bondoed the holes over leaving bondo spagetti strings hanging out the back side. :banghead: Well, Not the best work but I did it the right way by cutting out and replacing the metal. Skim coat of body filler and should be good to go. Not bad for a 19 year old kid eh?  :dontknow:
