I just spoke with Gean's daughter at Alhambra Custom Services and ordered the front bumper "eyebrow".

You are talking about the bank account, right?Eric wrote:It's all downhill from here![]()
So far I have found and bought the correct air cleaner, ash tray and bucket seats that were missing. After ordering the bumper today. I just need a date code 383, correct exhaust manifolds, correct valve covers, 15 X 7 rallyes, trim rings and center caps. I will buy repop polyglas tires. Once those hurdles are cleared.......try to find a way to fund the resto!!!

Re: M73 color coded bumper 71 B-bodies?
Do you know anyone else who has ordered from Gean? I have tried to find out about my bumper that I ordered nearly a month ago. I can not get a response from his daughter or get anyone via phone? I was told it would ship out in about a week when I ordered Sept 30. Then contacted his daughter (who took the PayPal payment since Gean said she handled that part of the business) on Oct 13. She said "it should ship out middle of next week". Still nothing and not able to reach anyone???Eric wrote:It's all downhill from here![]()

I'm not aware of anyone who's had any problems with them. I'll send you a PM with their email address in case you don't have it.

Guess I was just impatient. The bumper arrived today. Just got lucky, since I did not know it was in transit, it sat on the porch for 4 1/2 hours before it got picked up.

Re: M73 color coded bumper 71 B-bodies?
Just got an email from someone that might have a set of date coded 15" rallyes for the Satellite! Looks like by the time we finish with my current project. I might have all the parts to get started on the M73 Satellite. I decided to tackle an E-body project that I bought in about 2006. I wanted to see if we (my dad, my brothers and myself) could do a car to the level the Satellite deserves. I did not want to practice on the Satellite!

Yes! Sacrifice the E-body before you work on the B-body!

Well you never know when things will change. It looks like I need to sell the Satellite, along with a few other cars. Even the finished cars...

Just updating. The "practice" Barracuda is progressing right along. I decided to let the painter finish the car. It turned out to be a GREAT decision! After taking the Barracuda over to this painter, I chose to hold on to the 1971 M73 Satellite. It appears that he is going to tackle it next!!
