JB,
I took a flashlight and examined the block for screws. So far, I only see
one bolt going through the center. I'll unfasten that and see what happens.
Sometime this week, I'll be lifting the body and keeping an eye out for
straps.
This specimen was not somebody's baby; the more I take it apart, the more
confirmation I have that only a complete restoration is appropriate (one
clamp even disintegrated as I removed it from a fuel line!). Hope someday
#199 will be roadworthy again.
If anyone has experience with this company (applicable to '74)
http://www.classicone.com/wsc/catalog/amc/amc_per1.htm
, I'd be happy to talk to them too.
As a heads up to the club, it seems Eastwood stopped promoting anti-rust
paint called "Corroless" and has a replacement called "Rust Encapsulator".
Haven't tried either one yet, but will be needing something soon.
Thanks again,
SO

Steve,
Don't know if the starps are unique to 75s or not.

There are a couple of screws, I think on the eng. bay side
that you have to unscrew. These screws basically clamp the
firewall penetration together.
