Here are a few more pics.I have pulled the front bumper support off just need to trim the frame ends off.Also going to do a standing up radiator and pulling the hood latch also.Since the car has had the wiper cowl cut out Im going to go with a vfn extended hood that is a pin style and use dzus pins
Did some work last night and also so go fast parts came in.
Cut the front frame horns back and also cut the upper rad suppport to allow for a stand-up radiator setup

Today was a progressful day.I pull all the harness out of the interior.Pulled the dash and removed all the harness from the dash.Removed the door panels and pulled the harness out of the doors.I ordered a set of carbon fiber door panels from dmh fabrication and waiting on them to show.I am ordering a rocker swith panel to run all the necessities.I will keep updates when possible.
