My 72 LeMans sport project

For those of you wondering what all the questions are about. Here’s the answer. Found a 72 Sundance Orange Endura car on Marketplace in Youngstown, Ohio. Have a friend in the Tow business who went and got it. After getting it home I stripped it for blasting. Had it dustless blasted in my driveway. Then had it towed to paint shop for paint. Now in the process of reassembly. 350-2bbl. It was pretty solid except for rear valance and passenger door. Only door I could find was in Pittsburgh, so I made a round trip to pick it up. Car was Ziebarted and undercoated-which turned out to be good and bad. I spent weeks scraping undercoating off frame and trunk.

Of course, the pictures would post sideways. Sorry about that.

Can you post more pix of the build?

Crop your pictures slightly before downloading them here.

That seems to cure the picture flipping problem.

First pic is car with ridiculously small Cragers, worn out springs and shocks and no exhaust. Next is with 15 x 7 Honeycombs and finally, new wheels, tires, springs, shocks and repro dual exhaust.
