REALLY BAD idea.

Better to sell the '73 to someone who will give it a long life and cut up something headed to salvage.

The story here...well, some of it. Thread was closed because of trash posting by the very folks who made the car no longer fun for me. Many of those posts were deleted by the moderators here.
