Alan,
That appears to be a bugeye rear. As far as I know, and others will
undobtedly chime in here, the only way to achieve that on your 73 is to convert to a
bugeye tub, or use a rear clip from one.
The top in those pics look a lot like an original bugeye hard top. These are
sometimes available on ebay, or sometimes a lister runs across one.
The nose is available in the US. Frank Clarici of the
spridgets@... ,net list has one, although his does not have the grill that shows on your
picture.
Good luck with your conversion. I too have a 73 and I was going to make it a
bugeye in disguise, to the extent I bought a rear clip and a bonnet. But
then, last November I took the plunge and bought a whole bugeye. So the 73 will
remain somewhat stock, and when finished, the bugeye get some attention.
Hopefully I will live that long.
Welcome to the list. Got any guns?
