This is exactly the look I want to work toward. I want to learn to do most of it myself.

Finally got my Dad's Thing to the house, glaring parts missing are front and rear seats... Ideas? Anyone have a set for sale?
Have pretty much all the parts needed I think.. Anyone in McKinney TX want/able to come look and give some pointers on remainder of reassembly?

Not my Thing, but I found this old picture from 1980 at Pismo Beach. Being a green car, this should be a 74. It looks pretty hammered for only being 6 years old.

These are the only pics I have found of the 73 I owned in the late 1970s or early 80s.
Drove it from Colorado Springs to So Cal towing a U-haul trailer then back without trailer. I had forgotten it did not have the rear wheel fenders on.
