All I have left to do is the Top of the Firewall which is in the process of being stripped. I got my MSD all Organized and in better working order. Sandblasted my Hood Latch, Radiator Brackets, Hood Hinges, all Hardware, and a few other things even my Wiper Motor, took them down to bare metal, Primed and Painted. I think it turned out good for a Rattle Can Job.

My Car fired right up even after sitting for over a Month.
I almost forgot how mean my car sounds.

The Passenger Side Strut Tower, Filled in and smoothed.

I still have to install my Headers, Valve Covers, Air Cleaner and some other Misc, under hood things. But all that will wait until the whole car gets painted.

Confused by all the work you put in preping the bay..then you just slam that dirt soaked motor in there?? You did alot of work, and the bay looks like it came out nicely.

yes I know it is dirty as hell, most of it is just dust from sitting in the shop especially now since the hood is off of it.

I didnt take the motor out, I wish i had the equipment to do so so I had to stick with what I got,

Yea I pulled it outta the shop to let it run for a while and I figured it was a good pic opportunity. I plan on ditching that stock fan and hooking up electric fan(s)

Later,...Robby

It wasnt too bad of a job, the only real spot I didnt get was beside the master cylinder since I didnt take it off.

Wow, Really Nice Job. What did you use to fill in the Strut Tower holes? I used Permatex Liquid Metal Filler. Why didnt you go with Red?

I wish I still had my pics of before when I started working on my car.

Hey thanks. I used 3M metallic body tape. With the time I spent sanding, spraying, and feathering in I probably could have bought a welder and learned how to use it .
As far as the color, I actually tried red.

I'm no paint pro and matching the red on my car was impossible without knowing what your doing sooooo black it went. The contrast really looks better than I thought it would...PB
