OK, if I decide to try a '72 Lemans combo. I need to know what to look for. So, right off I know that the '71 & '72 Lemans look very similar. I'll look up some pics online to see if I can spot the differences. If they are close enuff to the same, that will increase the chances that I might find a decent junker to build.

OK, I been lookin at 'em online. The only difference I've spotted is the grills. The '71 has only 1 bright strip horizontally across the middle of both grill pieces. The '72 has 2 different style grills. One style has 2 bright strips horizontally across both grills. The other type appears to have a 2-piece grill on each side. It looks like two pieces sitting on top of each other. The pics can explain it better than me.

If any of you guys know anything else that would need to be changed on a '71, to pass NHRA tech as a '72, please post that info. Thanks.
