Wow looks like you brought it back from the dead. Even the roof looked warped before.

[road chicken]

Yes it was, and the car had a 1.5 " axial twist. Unfortunately that was my handy work also. Little too much power sliding with uncle Jack Daniels.

Where did you get your replacement canopy vinyl top?

Where did you get your replacement canopy vinyl top?

I think it was Legendary Interiors. I had to order the full roof vinyl and cut it down to size.

Hey, The car looks great!!!!
Isn't a great feeling to have it back together! "Wicked Pissa" Gary, '71 GTX

It will be, it's in pieces right now. Trans is on the floor, rear chuck is out getting new gears. The dash is just starting to go back and together, but there is still a ton of wiring upgrades to do. After that I have to upgrade the exhaust with TTI headers and X pipe and I may upgrade some front end parts and brakes with the big disk brakes...oh yeah and new rubber come spring.

Great car!
We showed our cars together a few years ago at Quaden Dodge show.
Your is build for serious fun.
BTW if you need a canopy vinyl top, Legendary has the correct canopy vinyl top where the seams are on the "A" pillars and not running lengthwise down the roof like full vinyl tops.

Amazing resurrection! Kudos!

Thanks, always sumpthin to do.

Steve, yes that's Verns GTX nosing into the picture, long since sold.

I build mine to run, that is the for sure. I remember some assclown telling me how all this stuff wasn't right. I said it depends on what you want to do, I drive this thing. He said he drove his too, even put 200 miles on one year. His face dropped when I told him this one sees 5000 a year, gets 20mpg and will ebarrass more than a few pieces of eurotrash thru the esses.

Ha Ha! Good for you. I plan on driving mine alot too. Keeping the good ole 318 and 2.76 gears so it will be easy on the gas. Definitely will be making some road trips!

[NOrrTH]

Good for you x 2. Looks amazing. I'm taking "liberties" with mine as well.

[road chicken]

Well the whole premise I'm aiming for is building the best car with factory parts where possible. There are some exceptions, but most people looking at it would never be able to tell what's year correct and what's not.
I do remember almost everyone telling I should have just scrapped it. The servings of crow were HUGE, and I took great pleasure in serving it up for all the crap I took. Scrap my baby, bah!
