I own a 72 Ventura II Very difficult to locate body parts

455 with turbo 400  Ford 9" 3:90 gear - slicks- 8 point cage
No rust except bottom of 1 front fender possible patch if I can locate patch panel?
Car has run 11.00 @ 118 mph Never been dialed yet.

Have you tried parts for the ever popular Nova? I'm willing to bet patch panels for the front fenders are the same or very similar. Must be a wild ride!

Slightly different curvature to lower fender-
Yeah the car is wicked fast and was built by my Father and I
Lot of fun to spank Mustangs with
12.5 to 1 comp. Requires race gas 116VP Cylinder head swap is in the works
Edelbrock RPM's  will lower comp.ratio to approx 9.75 to 1
Also a converter swap 10"3500 instead of the current 8" 4500
Returning the car to street duty ,more fun less wear and tear on a good solid car

Found a Nova trunk that fits  Also a set of tailights with bezels.Good shape
The previous owner( my brother )let a fellow put a 200.00 paint job on the car See what you get for 200.00 Barely enough for sand paper,tape,prepsol etc.

I live approx 8 miles from the House of Kolor working on a consultant,materials swap
