Its sunday and finally my car is going in for paint. Hopefully I'll have it back in a few weeks to put all my goodies in and make it beautiful. Here are some going away pictures...

more...also in the second picture...the metal piece circled is in the way of my new racing apron front valance. How do i get it out of the way...it goes up to the hood latch and i guess it just stabilizes it

you either have to notch your valence or you have to take out the latch and go with hood clips.

You don't already have the front valance on? If that is the case then you need to get it put on before paint, otherwise you might scratch the painted valance putting it on.

this is true, but that also means it won't get completely painted.

souds good about the blue/white.. a guy just two houses down from me (go firgure) has the exact same paint job on his 67. (but he has "GTA" stripes on the side too) it really does look sharp.

so does anyone else have any ideas about the huge metal bar that will be in the middle of the intake on the valance?

You could fab up a tubular brace to replace it, but notching the valance sounds best.
