Ya, i`m really looking forward to restoring the 71 too. I couldn`t leave it alone, I pulled the 7 1/4 rear out of it and tossed in a 8 1/4 sure grip and added 4:10 gears. Then I yanked out the old drum brakes up front and put the manual disc brake, big ball joint set up out of the 75 Dart parts car I have (that poor Dart has given up so many parts). Then replaced every front end part and bushing. Ok, thats enough about the 71, back to the 73.
