UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 3
Just recently picked up this 73. Got it from the original owner, its pretty clean, it got the 400 small block. Spent some time cleaning up the underbody-stripping, sealing priming and painting. In the process of getting rid of the sealed beam lights and changing to h4's and possibly going hid. On a tight budget but doing things when I can. Getting ready tp put some 22's on her.

That interior is clean. Yeah that was me with the thread with all the billet. Your best bet for pricing on the billet would be to call Steve and ask. I don't know what kind of grill your lookin for. Here's his number......
615-668-2354
I'll post up some pics of the stuff he did for me when I get a chance

Here's the pics from when I picked it up(uninstalled). I'll post how it looks in the car when I get back.
Pedals
Dash Kit
Saints Emblem
Grill
He's a cool guy to deal with. He's also done work for a pretty good deal of folks on this board.

Thanks man....It's coming slowly but surely....are you going to the iola car show and swap? If youre not I'll write down any numbers for you if I see a 73 Caprice or Impala....sometimes they have some good prices...2 years ago I almost picked up a 75 for the low. Are you looking for any specific years?
