Actually, that is a '74 SD Formula. Very rare car.

You are right. I just called him, my mistake, not his. He has been looking for a 73, my confusion. Whoops.

Had today off so I stayed cool and mounted the front for a couple of shots. I have to figure out how to get the nose right.

Bought a Painless Universal 18 circut harness today. That should be fun to hook up!

I had the same problem years ago when I had my bird painted. By the pics it looks like it needs to go up more and the lower part of the fender needs to come in. Though I could be wrong

Greyno, what front spoiler is that? Is that the center section of the T/A spoiler or is that the one piece sold by Classic?

The spoiler is a 1-piece from classic # PT15843.

The drivers side fender is a 77. I have to modify the lower front to work. It will come around eventually. I want to install the drivetrain before I assemble the nose for good.

Greyno, I was thinking about that spoiler.
Do you have any more pics, especially from the side?

I was thinking the same thing more pics of that spoiler would be good. It looks more pronounced than the factory. Looks kinda racy and nice.
When I put the nose on my 73 a couple of months ago mine was low like that and my buddy got a good chuckle out of it when he came over and told me what a dumn ass i was for putting the core support bushings in wrong. We fixed it and everything lined up nicely.

PS right after that happened i saw a topic on this forum that discussed the very same issue.

My '71 clone 400/350auto that I've had since January. Totally solid with fresh paint a couple years ago. Everything else is kinda worn out. Good street car, not sure what I want to do with it yet. Suggestions? Maybe I'll go 5-speed, pro-touring.

on getting the nose right, i just went thru that after replacing my lower core support bushings. the nose connects to two l shaped braces & you can shift the nose left to right where it connects to those braces. the braces connect to the frame & you can move the nose up & down, in & out at that connection point. this assumes the fenders\hood are aligned of course.
