    Well today I figured that it was about time that I got to tearing apart the ol 72 parts car. So I got up this morning and had the need to let off a little steam, so I did. This is the result of the session. It started off as a 72 LDO, 302, auto, PS, MB with sport lamps and under dash seat belt light. The torque boxes were way gone but there were many parts that could be salvaged. They will go to a good home so it will live on in a second life. Here are a few pics of the result of today.
