The chassis is at bare metal stage and anything can be done at this point.
Hi John70T,

I like this idea, however I would definitely need to see some pictures of another '72 fully assembled to make sure that where I put the brackets will not get in the way of anything. You don't happen to have any? Something like this will take only minutes to do.

Thanks,

Rodney
