Oh I plan on getting into the 10's with the bottle, I think I should be able to do it with a 150 shot

Were you taking your parts somewhere to bead blast them? Or do you have your own? If you have your own...whats your set up? Ive been wanting one of those for a long time now. Because, lets face it, the worst part to working on a car is cleaning the old parts. haha. I hate it. Sometimes, if the part is nasty enough, Ill just get another one thats cleaner. Thats now much I hate rust/grime removal.
Car is looknig great by the way! That is gonna be one fun ride when youre done! Make sure someone has a camera on your face the first time you really get into it on the road...the expression is priceless!

Alright here guys here are some update pics tell me if you can tell a difference haha. I have done some cleaning and a little painting. I moved some wiring harness and tied them back up where they need to be. Does not look like much but its the detail that counts.
Here is where I'm going to be moving the fuse boxes to. I'm test fiting the bracket right now and seeing how it is going to fit.
here is behind the fender I just cleaned.
I just cleaned and painted the cowl peice.

I have not got that far as of yet. The money has been going else ware to mod the motor and get this damn thing on the road. I was thinking getting some H&R springs with some Koni's for a cheap start until I get some coil overs. What would you suggest?
