Default Re: Looking at a 71 SS454 Chevelle Conv

Mark,
I just finished a 71 454 convertible Last year that I showed at MCACN. These cars are tougher in a lot of ways to do properly than the 70's I generally restore as lots of tough to find emissions parts are usually missing and not as easy to find
(At least for me ) as parts for the 70's tend to be.
There are many expensive to fix problems with this car if correctness and originality are important to you. Front fender emblem placement isn't even close to the factory location,to fix this would require bodywork and paint. Sport stripe dimensions are way off from what they should be, and as Mike said wheel finish is not even close to the correct texture and color.
Lots of interior and engine compartment issues as well.
Chris
