yes, I took all the framework out that used to behind the seat to put in a firewall so I can have a trunk mount battery and fuel cell.

Sorry, it looked like a 1970 since the deck lid is body color.

In 1969 Marauder X-100's came with the deck lid and "tunnel" area painted flat black as standard equipment.
In 1970 the flat black treatment became an option on X-100 models.

If you haven't already been there, you might try the Marauder Message Boards for parts.

Good luck !

I finally, found time to get everything underneath the car hooked up and now it is off of the ramps, now I just got to take the radiator out, mount the explorer radiator, volvo i/c, plumb some lines with a blow though vam, hook up fuel lines and radiator hoses, and install an electric fan then I can fire it up!







One question, what radiator hoses do you use with an explorer radiator?
