I bought a 71 fastback on ebay a little over a year ago and it was a big time rust bucket, no motor, no trans. The cowl, 1/4's, floor pans, door bottoms, tail lamp panel, shock towers, door striker area etc. etc. rusted. I started replacing some of this and was waiting on a cowl to be cut out for me and i'll be dambed if my wife didn't find me a 72 coupe for free if we went to get it...........100 miles. Well we got it expecting to use the cowl etc for parts but this thing is in imaculate shape! No floor pan rust, cowl fine, 351 c half tore apart, the rest of the parts in the not rusted trunk. The only rust I find is very minor in tail lamp panel and 2 small bubbles behind wheel wells. I want a fastback. What do you all think about cutting the top off my rustang and putting it on a clean california coupe? By the way, I have a title for the fastback and none for the coupe............but I still have the orig. vin plate out of the fastback and a whole ass load of great fastbak parts. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
