    Oficially finished the eng compartment today...The car is now ready for paint. Not painting it this year...The space has been rented out. I was allowed to use it free of charge for the summer. (Land lord is pretty cool) I will stow it away for the winter, and pick up again next spring...First two pics are from today...3rd one is from last week sometime...The days kinda all melt together...The paint is Eastwoods underhood black urethane. Very durable, covers easy, and has the right sheen to be convincing. Oh and it cleans easily...:burnout:

    Got more parts off the 71 parts car.
    Everything in, on, or under the dash.
    All the wiring harness, from under the hood to the rear tail lights.

    Still have to pull the motor and trans. take off the doors and 1/4 windows, windshield, and back glass.
    Cut the 1/4 panels and rockers off.
    Take the dash and steering box off.
