Good idea, there must be at least 10 of them!

Last one I saw locally was about 20 years ago. It was an auto with 2.76 gears. Lets just say the 1/4 mile times were not measured in seconds. :lol: :lol:

I have been working and cleaning the Lite.
I rode into Dallas today and bought a couple fenders.
He would not sell me just the drivers side.
He thought they were 74 fenders but they are 73.
No bumper filler panel mounting holes.
But they were on the fenders on his 73 Dart so I think these are the fenders off his car.
I also got a radiator and passengers side upper door frame molding.
Header and another grill being shipped down to Texas.

Working along as weather and my health allow.
I had a self induced injury and it has slowed me down a little.
Got the nose yesterday and put it on to test fit.
Been sanding the fender, as the PO blasted it and put them in his outside storage shed
Found a front bumper local, hope to pick it up soon.
Have not closed the deal on the 8 and 3/4 rear.

Be careful out there Stan. We aren't 50 anymore.

Feeling better, I fell and dinged myself pretty bad.
Thanks for y'alls concern.

Got a bumper, and worked on fitting some of the parts.
I am learning all the little differences in 73-7 and 75-76 parts.
Not finding 75-76 parts.
They are close but different.

75/6 bumpers are wider for the filler panels, right?

I don't see them as wider, the mounting holes are in different places.
I can redrill the aluminum brace.
