Older member, new pictures and intro.

Engine is out! :rockon:

But unfortunatly I forgot the camera yet again :bang:

Today I am going to clean it all up and start tucking a few things and hopefully painting the bay. This time I will for sure take pictures! :slight_smile:

Well started to take out the power steering, cruise control and tuck some wires tonight. Been kind of a slow process but I am trying to make sure I do everthing right.

Diggin the build. Front lip is sick too! Keep it up!

Just got a little more work done tonight, hopefully get some paint down in the bay tomorrow. Trying to decide if I should do a wire tuck or just get it back together so I can acutally drive my freaking car again, and get a photoshoot in with StevO before he leaves.

Car as it sits nowā€¦

Trying to knock some of the dirt, oil, power steering, and brake fluid mixture off of the frame rail.

The new engine bay color.

Tomorrow I am going to finish up the bay and the block. Then turn towards the head and get it all put back together, after that I just need mounts and it should be ready to drop in. :slight_smile:
