Ah that's cool, no buildsheet either huh?

What type of restoration are you going to be doing with the 70?

no buildsheet unfortunately. i want to drive the heck out of the 70 so a nice driver is my goal. theres no drive train but the 73 has an awesome drivetrain that gets up and goes but the rott on the car is rediculous. i think the battery tray brace is the only thing holding the car together. so my plan is to eventually after the 70 body and interior is done is to swap the drive train over. should be fun

looks good. I have a 73 that looked a lot like your 70 when I got it, and was also a green (olive colored). Sounds like a great project!  :wave:
