71 LS5 Restoration done!!!
Had my 71 LS5 Coupe put back together. Its a matching numbers 4-speed in Bridgehampton Blue. Ive owned the car for 8 years and finally had a frame on pretty much done. Media blasted, paint, interior, suspension, brakes...blah blah blah and the rust around the windshield / birdcage area. Frame was perfect!!! Car only has 82k miles so nothing to the engine. New emblems and chrome or rechromed parts as well. I have gotten the car back a number of months ago but havent had the time to put up pics. Im not to good with this so here is the link for Photobucket. Im going to try to post some pics so hope it works!!! Love my 71!!! Another C3 saved!!!!

Hi M,
Your car looks GREAT!
For the pics... copy and paste the 'IMG' code under each picture and I think you'll have better results!
Regards,
Alan

Thanks everyone for the positive comments!! Well worth the time and $$$ spent. I still have my original door panels at least. The reset of the interior was mostly Al Knoch. The sets feel great with new foam etc. I even had the seatbelts restored with the new labels. The whole process took @ 15 mos. It's great having both my 71 and 88 together again.
