  ...or you could convert the flat hood into a shaker, and keep all the Gran Coupe trim...  :thinkerg:

but then again, i'm slightly biased!  :poopoke:

Do you have the rectangular medallions on the front seat backs?  The seats look pretty worn.  If you do have them laying there, and you do a cuda seat cover, I am interested in buying them.    Thanks

I remember the seats in my '74 they tore real easy, real cheap I thought, I bought a 70 and took the seats out and put them in my 74 and junked the rest, It was probably just a rolling chassis, might of had some rust....what a idiot i was!!

Bichin.   :thumbsup:   You guys amaze me on the work you do.
Like I mentioned before.  If all of the members that restored and videoed their
project you all could have a better Mopar show than graveyard carz on TV.

Nice car and great progress! I am always intrigued with E-Bodies with the P31 option as there were very few made. :woohoo:

I'm digging the headliner. I thought the black shag headliner in my car was bad... Lol

oh, and thanks for the pic of the data plate!  also, now i am curious.  does the P6XY interior have a black headliner or gold????  i see the trim is black.  have you seen any gold underneath?  and do you have your faux wood trim for the door panels?  Man, this could be a really sweet set-up no matter what engine you put or keep in it!

Look closely, its not the P6XY, its the P6YX code, the rarest of all... the leopard skin interior option.
You hit the jackpot!!  :roflsmiley:

I would say the headliner was gold as well. I didn't find traces of the old headliner, but my sun visors were in great shape and as gold as can be.
