Barry recently did a '72 Gary, earlier this year.
I think he made the elbows.

that was my car. I just took a look at the thread and noticed that because of all the photobucket/postimage shenanigans of recent past, the photos werent showing.

I dont know how helpful they will be but i just reinstated them

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=58139&start=45

'Episode 17' is for the pipes - Barry reused the existing pipes. 'Episode 22' is for the actual console mounting area which was totally remade.

Hope they help.

Many thanks Andrew, Any chance you can rebuild the rest of the thread as it could be a great reference photo set! :)

spent some time doing just that yesterday! I hadnt realised how many of my photos had become unviewable.

There are some i seem to have accidentally deleted from postimage directory so i need to find them and finish the job!. I also realised how far behind i am in the thread history so will endeavour to get up to date in the coming weeks. Am actually in reassembly now!
