    Made some progress on the cheap. Found my driver side sport mirror, with bezel and knob, works great - $10(thhhhbbbbttt to ebay) Picked up some 15 by 8 Cragar super spokes for the rear, $15 each, elbow grease needed. Found my v8 trans support and sway bar, don't know price yet, didn't want to spend the time to take them off, but they're reserved and will be cheap. Is the v8 throttle cable a necessity? Could get that too. The running '71 429 4 barrel thunderjet motor that had been there for 2 years sold the day before since a buddy was with me to buy it. DOOHHH!!! Oh well, always fun to get some good deals.

    Get the throttle cable whether you need it or not, they are a hot item.
