Sheesh. Sorry to hear that.

Freed the cell.

Safety thing. after the exploding gas tanks from rear end collision law suits?

if i'm understanding this correctly, you have a plastic fuel cell inside the metal tank, if it's sealed for the gas, can't you drill a small 1/4" hole or two in the metal tank to let moisture drain out???(before you put in a new cell)

Do the alm ones have the inner cell or just foam .hole idea passed my mind.

many years ago i had my 4 lug monza axles redrilled to 5 lug
they did an excellent job! cleaned and retrued all the surfaces, shipped them back in like a week! just make sure you specify stock lug studs or you'll get those 4" long racing studs

Ready to put the cowl back on.There are 32 spot welds along the window area.should I glue it or attempt to weld it again.I am not a pro. welder.My concern is structure.

Welded cowl on. Non gas wire feed is splatter crazy. Welds look bad .Does it matter which direction you go.For word or back words.

Next question anyone know were to find body measurements for body panels. I am replacing right inner fender,on unabody (sp)car it should have been part of sub frame.What I want is distance between fenders and some cross measurement from one side to other.

It is better to put bondo over clean metal, not primer.

Thanks,soon as I buy a new grinder will get at it.

There are some rims for sale for a good price, but they most likely have a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. Maybe you can have the bolt pattern drilled to a 5x4.50 bolt pattern. If you want to see them Click here.

Do you need just the front left and right turn signal lenses like number 1 in the picture below? Or do you also need the side parking lights, like number 2 in the picture below?

IIRC those front turn lenses are 76-77 specific. which side do you need? or both?

dave you might be right, it's been 20 years since i worked on pintos, but i remember those being a two year only thing
