Default the beginning of my build

so its finally time to bring the bird back to life again... pics will be scarce but will take as many as possible.
first step is taking everything apart. interior is coming out (minus dash) along with just about everything in the engine bay.
taking the engine out and apart to have everything powder coated. the intake will be black chrome with polished fins. polished canton valve covers, polished tb, fuel rails and ac lines, black chrome waterpump, acc. bracket, alt., and the pulleys.
stainless llp headers, true duals, and other bolt ons.

this is stuff im still gathering/doing while doing bodywork the car is white and turning blue starting with the engine bay. my buddy in missouri has a cheap passenger side door so july 2nd im going on a road trip to get that. and hopefully pick up some paint from him
