I got her out of the garage last weekend, and moved over to the first stall for a little more work room. Its also closer to my tools. I stared stripping the trunk lid, and will pull the passenger door tomorrow. I have already removed the glass from it. Once the trunk and doors are stipped Ill put them in epoxy. I need to find a engine stand and hoist.

And.......... 4 years later. Holy crap. I could have sworn that I started this like 2 years ago..
Anyway, This weekend I picked up a 600 CFM Holley 4160 w/ electric choke. Got some sea foam and some fresh gas. Took my time, cleaned under the valve covers, and dumped in a half can of sea foam. Got it running.
Today, the car was zooming up and down my block with a half flat tire (wouldn't hold air) and no headlight buckets. At least I took the time to bolt down the fenders and the hood correctly. (Kind of)
The sea foam worked wonders. No more tap from the drivers side lifters. And oil is flowing again under the valve covers. Lots of smoke during the first couple of starts but its great! I picked up some MSD spark cables and a new battery.
Now I need a battery apron and tray, new wheels and tires, and a front disk kit. The car runs great!
This afternoon, I pulled both doors and started stripping the Drivers side. It's in metal now. I think ill get me a harbor freight sand blaster and strip the door interiors as well as anything else I want to do.

I ordered these in 15x7. 4.25"be, with some tigerpaw 225/60 15's. The 14 inch tires I bought on the car hardly hold air. By the end of the month I should have some new wheels and tires.
