My 72 Lemans is almost done!!!
Permalink  

Here are a few pics of my Lemans.  I've been working on it for about 5yrs now and am glad to see the end in sight.  Just have to finish a few things under the hood and get an appraisal then I will be ready to roll.  Should get a good month's worth of shakedown runs to make sure everything works right before it has to go into storage......enjoy!!!

This is the day I picked it up from 72ENDURAWAGON (Darren) June 16th '07

Thanks for the comments guys, I am very happy with the way it turned out.
Carl, yes its the GT stripe. I saw a car on the internet with that stripe about 3 yrs ago and knew that was the look I wanted. It could be ordered with GT cutouts or GT37 cutouts as well, but I preffered the solid stripe.
Darryl, it is a stock 350 sbc with a 700r4.

Heres a quick underhood pic, it's filthy but you get the idea.

I have to admit the factory hubcaps have kind of grown on me.  I have a few other tire/rim combos to try yet.....will get them posted up when I get a chance.  The interior pic should be along tomorrow.  Thanks for all the positive comments guys it means a lot!!!

Yup, 14" Buick ralleys with Cragar Centers. I picked them up from 427Carl, can use them with or without the factory hubcaps.
