Well, here are some pics anyway..

1) Ok, here is everything as normal, just a few days ago.. The only things missing from this pic are the radiator, fan, and shroud. Well, and the hood, and the various connecting hoses to the radiator.. but you get the idea



2) And here's everything now



3) And also notice, the sidepipes are missing! Gasp! Where could they have gone..


Very Happy heheh

What's this? A transmission? Yeah. The last big thing to be removed. We have a few hoses and things that we're gonna replace while we can easily do so, but it's effectively a waiting game until parts start comin back to us : )

All looks good so far. We should come up with a show called "Backyard Overhaulin'" where the average person rebuilds a car instead of those fantasy jobs they do on TV that are just insane Shocked

Can't wait to see the pieces start coming back. But, is the wallet ready to handle the burden?

I was thinking the same thing myself Tom about the tv show that is.

Kenny looking good so far, hopefully those little issues you will run into dont nickle and dime you to death... Good luck with it and cant wait to see the outcome..

Luckily, the thing he has going for him is that it is the same engine block that was in there, and the same tranny. So, all those major pieces should fit right back in there. As for the 2 - 4 barrel carbs, I think its time to search for a riser hood Twisted Evil

oh that's for me to know and for you to find out.
It all depends on when the headers can get back. There was a delay in their processing, and they're in Arizona, so whenever they get done and however long the shipping takes, will likely determine what happens. :/
