Couldn't let Kirk get the upper hand. 71 Panel with a late bay replacement nose. Had a slight hit on the right a pillar. Fixed rather well. Only rust I can find is in the right rear battey tray. Already have the engine and tranny in place. Waiting for clutch and acc cables to finish up that part. Brakes will be next.

Very nice Panel. You sure know how to find them. Those Panels seem to be the vehicle of choice lately for LEAKOILERS. :shock: :D

But do they come in any other color besides white? ;)

This one was originally neptune blue. It will be repainted this winter to that color.

I acted pretty quick on this one. The body was too nice to pass it up.

I don't know what it will cost, but if you want to go "back in time", I may have access to a -73 nose (72 to be exact) for that bus depending on how far you want to go. I'm going to offer $100. Not sure if that will get it, or if you're even interested, but I think the potential donor is going to the crusher anyway, so no loss in asking.

Thanks Sean. I'm going to leave it as is, at least for the time being.

Oh yeah, ate at the Ribber the other night. I'm hooked on their steaks now. WOW!!!!
