Sorry guys, I forgot to send the pics last week of the engine bay. I got it all cleaned up and even laid some rage body filler to smooth out the rough spots. I cant wait to shoot primer next week! As far as the K-member and front suspension goes, I plan to restore that after I primer and shoot color in the engine bay. I also received my firewall boot for the clutch cable and my Z-bar frame rail bracket. I needed the firewall boot in order to repair the hack job for the pedal linkage (see pics) and I am going to attempt to put in the z-bar bracket after I primer this bad boy.

I started the stripping process of all the paint from the car today with the fenders. My plan is to work my way to the back of the car. I also re-applied some undercoating to the insides of the fenders as well. Getting closer to primer day!

Here is the progress from today. I finished stripping the drivers side of the car and started to repair the clutch cable boot area of the firewall. Just need to weld it up now. Tomorrow I plan to strip the passenger side of the car and any other final areas. This has been very time consuming because there were at least four different paint jobs to this car...the original blue, than black, than red, than black again! Sunday I plan to finish the final body filling and welding. Friday is off to the booth for primer!

Here are some pictures from todays progress. The car is completely stripped down now. I have a few areas here and there that need stripped and will knock that out this week. Man, my Dad was right. This passenger side had a lot of bondo work done to it. It is straight and smooth though so I am not going to mess with it. When he first got it, the right side was put in a ditch. Cant beat getting her for $500 though! I did not strip the rear quarter panel because that was replaced a few months ago so I know that one is good to go. Tomorrow I plan to wipe it down really good, finish up last minute welding and body filling.
