According to my copy of the MPC, the Gusset fits everything except the convertible and the Extension fits everything except the convertible and the Talladega.

Steve, it's good to hear things are slowly coming along on your restoration.
Would those parts fit all the other Fairlane/Torino body styles besides the convertibles? Or are there some others that these won't fit in addition to the convertibles? David from WNY On Thursday, March 7, 2024 at 10:03:12 AM EST, Steve W <fords65273@...> wrote:
Slow progress on my convertible restoration. A long time ago I bought a donor left side "A" pillar from a wrecked car to use for parts, as mine has body damage and rust. In cutting it apart, I've come up with a couple of parts I don't need for a convertible.
They are part # C7OZ-6210195-B, Gusset-Floor Side Member to Front Side Member, and C8OZ-5410067-A, Extension-Floor Side Inner Member Front, if I'm reading the book correctly. Torque box I believe. They were cut out with a spot weld cutter, so lots of 3/8"
holes, but if anyone has a need for them, you can have them for the cost of shipping. My thanks for many years of support and information from the group.

David,
? It was $600 for both sides, $300 per side. I'll send pics as I get further, but it got temporarily moved to the back burner. I broke the front end on my tractor, and even though it's only 17 years old, the dealer doesn't stock parts anymore, so I'm trying
to find used somewhere.

Steve,
Thank you for the update and pics. I too was thinking the same as you were and expecting a "drop-in" replacement, not a "some assembly required" sub structures/pieces puzzle prior to "dropping-in". And yes I know most replacement panels aren't 100% "drop-in" and are likely going to need fitment which can include cutting/grinding as needed before welding in place. Was that $600 total for both sides or was it $600 each side? IF $600 total, that isn't to bad, not great but not all that bad either. I wasn't really too sure what to expect on price, and now to find out "some pre-assembly assembly required" is still needed, I don't know, maybe a touch/bit high. But as you said, you need these to return structural integrity back to the chassis. Please keep sending us pics of the "some assembly required" in process and then as you progress to and including the final installation stages.

done a test fit yet because I still need to do some cleanup and repair, but they seem to measure out ok.

I currently to my knowledge don't need any. BUT would be interested in "in progress" and "final pics", price as well as what years these theoretically would/should/could fit (I am guessing at least '68 & '69 for fit/use) as well as other possible body
styles/types other than the convertible these MIGHT be able to be fitted to with maybe some mods/tweeks. It is one of those things that IF price is right and have the spare funds it wouldn't hurt to have spares on hand for one of those just incase times.

Re: 69 R code Cobra
Years ago I set out to determine how many different versions of the hood existed between 68 and 69, and the results were that there are six versions of the hood starting from early to late. ? And I have seen both cutout and non cutout on CJ cars. But I will as always defer to others as I no longer keep up on it. -- ============================================================ I am Linc.....

Yes they were supposed to be cut out See attached documents. However? I have found some later model year R codes that still have the pie cut (my May 15 built Cyclone being one) My guess is the line workers got lazy on some of the cars and let them pass.
