Progress on engine bay
Although the engine's show status the engine bay itself is lacking. I have everything off the firewall and fenders. Every part has been sandblasted, wirewheeled painted or clear glossed. That's the easy part. The firewall has stress cracks and an actual hole under where the hood release cable comes out in the left rear quarter panel. So it's alot of glassing and sanding, and reglassing,hardest part is achieving a baby smooth finish. I expect at minumum three weeks to do this as the motor is in the way of everything and I'm not looking forward to the taping off before spraying (think of the ceremic headers for example). Anywhere here's some progress,
this is the hole i was talking about. I saw a little bit of silver sticking up and when I pulled it i realized Bubba spray painted over duck tape covering a big hole.

Folks, I have it on good athourity that Cali had all the dirt in Cal. removed and sent to Ga., That's why I can't keep it off mine
