There's not a lot of early hornet wagons! 70-72 are pretty scarce
around here. For the most part they're just hornet/gremlins, easy
enough to find parts. Only some parts are unique, like the grille,
headlamp doors and bumpers.

THe headlamp doors especially are made out of a particularly low
grade of crap and all seem chipped and broken.

Drivetrain is all early six (borg warner) stuff, but 72 was the
year they switched to torqueflites, but 70 - 72 look the same.
Starter on the drivers side means borg warner.
