Welcome to my “NIGHTMARE!”
The fire-fighters actually pryed the hood open putting two monster
dents in the header panel! Idiots!
The grill got a bit warm and sags a bit. Anyone have
one they’d part with?
The worse of the two rear 1/4s. Yes if you look in
the above pictures, those are two new rear 1/4’s in
the front seat area:-)
Overall the “X” isn’t all that bad off. Too bad about
the engine fire though. The only rust in the car prior to the fire
was the two rear 1/4s. Now of course the front fenders will have to be
blasted clean as well as the hood. Parts that I need to replace
are as follows:
Both 1/4s
Both hood hinges
The power brake booster
All rubber hoses and lines
Master Cylinder
Heater core & fan
All under hood harnesses and engine wiring (ie plug wires
coil connections)
Carb is shot though not a melted blob
Wiper motor assembly
Cracked Windshield
The only thing I’m having a problem with is the wiring harnesses,
everything else can be donated by a pre-74 Nova or a
73-74 Omega/Ventura. If anyOne knows where I can get
a decent Apollo harness (cheap) as I can get a nova harness for
$10...Let me know.
A local graphics shop (Trimline) told me to take pictures
of the GSX decals and measurements as well as the striping
package and they could reproduce the entire mess without
any problems:-) I’ll let everyone know how that goes..
If you have an idea you’d like to share with me feel free to contact me
