I just noticed you have the dash installed already. Or did it stay in during the resto? Can't remember if you have the rallye pac on your car. If you do, have you got a pic of the dash 'fasten seat belts' pod or installation photos?

Great work Henry! You probably enjoyed eating that candy bar too! Do they still make those? I haven't seen those in years....Allan, what's the status on those? Come to think of it, I haven't seen a "Reggie Bar" in a while either.....

Erik, you're kidding right? Oh Henry? Of course they still make it. You want a box for Halloween?

I should have posted this on Henry's Birthday!

Also for 72 it has the 'fasten seat belts' pod on the top center of the dash if the car was produced after Jan 1, 1972.

So, Henry - does the car have the convenience light group? I have spare harnesses for that if you're interested.

Henry, need to ask about this pic


Were you torquing rear control arms or doing work on the gas tank/lines?

Actually , I went under there to clean it and think about ordering a gas tank, and tighten up the bumper bolts. I won't toque the suspension bolts till the driveline is in. Oh i have to get some shocks too.

Ahh, that explains a lot. Got the GM34R from NAPA. See if you can get it under your company name and you'll save a lot of $$$. I also bought their sensitrac shocks for my rear suspension. I like that they come in black and have the large mounting hardware. Still need to provide your own upper mount bolts/nuts. Screaming good deal 37.95 each for corporate discount - otherwise around 65.00 each.

I was thinking about doing something like that with my ramps when it's time to torque it down. Not much room to work with now that the rear body braces are installed.
