Been parked and partially disassembled for about 15 years - finally down to just a few items yet to find and install (somewhere in one of the many buckets of parts!) This is what it started with in 1991:
Wished I had taken more progression pictures - lots of replacement patches welded in (wheel flares, floor pans, rails from firewall back, inner and outer rockers - a '78 donor was cut up and patched in where needed along with it's hood and engine) Base coat:
Chameleon with clear coat:
And finally the pretty much finished product - Thanks Vics for great wheels and upholstery
Visors, shift boot and a few other pieces when I can find them Suns out gotta roll!

Re: Getting close on the '72
Nice job! I am always impressed by people who can do bodywork. If it doesn't bolt on or off, I am pretty much lost myself.
