    Yes the wheels will be coming off Tommorow. I will be dropping the rear end to start on the rebuild on it. 

    Actually I am not a body man. It is just a hobby.

    Bought the bolt kit for the engine. Bolted down the intake.
    Put the headers on to see the look.

    I spent the day wet sanding the car. It is really shaping up. I have a few small spots to fix up.  I think another 3 to 4 hours of work on the body and ready for paint.

    Soon to Have Paint on the car. I will be dis-assembling and spraying the inside of the trunk, the door jabs, underside of the hood and trunk, etc. Then I will re assemble and then spray the outside.

    Pics to follow.

    Grill is Done.

    Bought the paint for the car today.

    Ordered the Weather stripping (rubber parts) for the car.  Found a vender in BC that is very reasonable.

    FYI... I'd ditch that fan. It's not  uncommon for them to crack and take out the rad.... :scared:
