Hey, nice find and congrats.

For the body, it depends. It is abs if it is a '71-72. To test put acetone on a spot that dont matter and see if it melts the plastic. If that is the case then sanding will bring the color back. Start coarse and go to fine sanding then wet sanding. I have experimented alittle with wiping acetone on with a brush which softens the plastic. I then was able to scrap off the top layer and left it the yellow. I am hoping that might shave of some sanding time because I am not that patient when it comes to sanding. If the acetone dont affect it then it is a poly body and I am not sure you can bring the color back but I am pretty sure that year was abs. Which is also easier to fix but also easier to crack?
