Well I am not happy having a chopped engine bay. The car had fenderwell headers when I bought it. So I found a set of inner fensders with a little surface rust and not cut up. I have been sanding at the and rmoved the suspension and k fram so they can be cut and replace the old sliced up set.

Well, I seperated the inner fenders from the front suspension and K-member so if anyone is looking for a v-8 K member I got one for ya. The body man wont be able to get around to the the inner fenders until mid February. So I am going to drop my K member and front suspension from the car while its at the shop. Plan on rebuilding the front suspension with PST poly superkit and powdercoating the A-Arms, the K frame, the torsion bars, strut rods, and adding a sway bar. I am looking into doing coil over front shocks, but have not decided. Is anything I mentioned unable to be powder coated. Is there any reccomendations for shocks or anything for the front suspension. All input is welcomed.

I plan on powdercoating bright blue and silver. The upper control arms blue, the K member blue, the brake calpipers painted blue, and the rest silver. I am also going to purchase a new set of disk for the front end.
 
Well the old inner fenders are out and the new are in. All welds grinded down and sandblasted the firewall. Its coming along nicely. I cant wait to have that show look under the hood.
