    Is this 1973 Daisy Yellow? My 73 was originally daisy yellow and I had planned going back to that color, you don't see too many like this. Thanks.

    Can you tell me the actual measured height of the 31s on the rim and aired up?

    Hi chris’74. Noneyah here. I’ve got a 72 which needs a spring update. I like how yours sits. What springs did you install and what lift did you do?

    That is 100% factory '74 exhaust. I took it all off and had it sandblasted and then powder coated headers in black and in that 'gray' which is a very hi-temp powder meant for exhausts / high heat applications. But everything from the manifolds all the way to the tip is from '74. Even the muffler is original. The shifter is 20" to the top of the ball. Straight, no bends. Never had any problems shifting or contact with anything.

    Slightly smaller. 30" give or take a bit. But its a cold day here.

    Hey Chris, On your 3rd post of the build, you show the powder coat parts and I am curious on where/how this piece was mounted when you went back together. On mine it supported the carbon canister on driver rear behind wheel but not sure that is the correct place. I looked but did not see where you put this piece and the orientation. Thanks.

    That is a rear support for the bumper, driver side. Not sure what page, but there is a pic of the frame/engine taken overhead without the body on. You can see how it bolts together in that pic. Driver side rear just next to the gas tank. Nothing on mine is mounted to that plate. The charcoal canister for mine is mounted up front on firewall, that's from the factory location. In the rear is the spillover valve thing. But that is mounted up on the wheel well tub. Not on this support bracket.
