Love the photo of the assembly plant putting together a 73 Montego. Looks like the complete front end assembly went on all at one time.

Notice the bumper is attached and swiveled down, clip goes on trailing the back end, so they line up the bolts on the top of the firewall and swing it down. hood goes on later??? but it looks like the fenders, inners, core support, and header are all together. Wonder if the radiator is in as well...

Thanks. Vintage photos have dried up just a bit and I haven't made ANY progress on my car Cry 

This same lowrider club (Latino Classics) has a 77-79 Thunderbird with a targa top in it. Creds to @latinoclassics64 on Instagram. What I'd give to be in Whittier, California in the late 80s...or in the 80s in general. The 21st century sucks

One for sure can't tell most cars apart from each other anymore - they all look the same!! Behind the candied 77-79 Tbird - 71-76 Impala "glass house", 78-80 cutlass, 73-80 Chev PU, 71-72 full size Pontiac, older T bird?, and a 58 Chevy.

Back in the 30s and 40s, cars looked eerily similar. Everyone had a business coupe, everyone had a 2 door fastback, everyone had a 4 door "fastback". Then they got different, now common cars are (for the most part) similar looking again.

I agree with ya on the 21st century but the 80's sucked too, now the 90's, they were a damn good time. Wink
