If you have the means, do it.
While its out, you might as well stroke it.lol.

oh yea, smooth out all those holes in the engine bay too.

i have started to smooth out the hole they r all welded and ground down i would stroke it if i had the money u know a wife 3 kids and i work for the navy

she sat for 4 yrs before i bought it it was wrecked i fixed that i just want to clean every thing up and paint it

I dont have a wife, or kids, but I can understand the money thing. Im guessing it is put away for the winter, so there is no better time to do the work on it.

well i have had it for a 1yr now and put 12 miles on it every time i drive i break something i paid 1500 bucks for her and she has 92000 miles on her so i am happy

Breaking stuff sucks. I know that feeling. It just makes you appreciate the times when do you do get to drive it, all that much more.

Thats what i would do, yank it all out and Paint that bad boy. It would be a good time to do a rebuild on that motor to, if you dont have the money to stroke it, just re-ring it and replace the bearings and seals at least you'll have a re-freshed motor.

i replaced all the gaskets on the motor when i put the cam in it

i am not to worried bout the body i want to clean everything up like the engine bay the motor and trans rear end pretty much the whole bottom of the car and paint it all the one thing that sucks is the garage dosent have heat but i am from ohio so i shoud be fine with a space heater
