Some progress today.. Got the fuel tank put back together and put in a safe pace until it gets reunited again...
Also finished tearing out the wiring harness, interior air box, shifter, brake pedal, gas pedal, steering column, etc... I can start stripping all the gunk and old caulking out of the interior now and cleaning it up to prep for paint.
Stripped out the old brake lines, windshield wiper motor, fuel line to the rear of the car and pried the calipers off the spindles. I am not going to strip the stock suspension until I mock up the front sheet metal though, which will be soon. I am just waiting to get me block back so I can mount in in the body and place the heads and intake on it so I can check for clearance from the car to the hood. After that, the front end gets stripped down and subframe removed to prep.
