rturbo 930: I stand corrected. Typed my original response from an airplane late at night and got it backwards. Yes, early cars had solid spokes. My 12/70 has holes. There you go.

I am about 70% done of my first restoration ever. Best advice I can give you (other than getting the Factory Manual for your year as has been already suggested): Pick a project to start with, research that particular project extensively on the internet, and finish that project before starting the next one. For example, right now I am replacing the stock rear suspension. I spent a considerable amount of time researching the options and have resisted the urge to start something else (while I wait for suspension parts, for example) until I finish that job.

I have a 12/70. It has the hatch vents. I think ryant67 is right in that these were "transitional". For example, mine has the steering wheel with indentations in the spokes, rather than the one with the holes like earlier ones.
