[quote=“Devioustsi,post:39,topic:26592"”] I just realized that you cleaned up the firewall a bunch…it looks really good especially the passenger side!

Had some more progress in the past couple of weeks, but not much as I have been making a few decisions based on the direction of this project. First I cleaned up the engine bay Going from this… ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/133-3379_IMG.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/133-3379_IMG.jpg) to this… ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000276.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000276.jpg) to this… ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000341.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000341.jpg) All of the harness is pulled away from the frame. Both the frame and harness are in exteremely good condition considering their age. ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000340-1.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000340-1.jpg) I also found out my transmission has led a particularly hard life. ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000267.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000267.jpg) ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000268.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000268.jpg) That is the bell housing side, and yes, that one mounting ear is indeed a gob of slag drilled and ground to shape. Looks pretty bad. Oh well, I will deal with that when the time comes. Here is the engine out of the car. Nothing fancy but very complete. ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000271.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000271.jpg) ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000273.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P1000273.jpg) I also went and picked up my front fenders and rear bumper cover from the paint shop the other day. Wow did they do a good job over at D&D Auto cars. Pics coming later today. ---
