Default Extraction Complete~!
After sitting for years with no heads on it the "Blue" car had its Engine and Transmission extracted tonight thanks to Mark In a small 2hour surgery she was bagged tagged and removed for future referance.

Next is the Rear end exhaust and Fuel tank

not sure what I will do then but it is about time for some clean up that is for sure LOL!

Sounds like you are making progress. That is great Ellis. It is a long time coming.
I cannot wait to hear your car make noise.
Let me know if and when you need help, I know a little bit about taking rear ends out!

Oh man how I hate taking motors out through the top on F bodies. Why didn't you just drop it out the bottom and get rid of that stock K member in one swoop?

You know you want to know Zeke!

I was suprised how easy it is to yank a motor out of one of these cars. We didn't even take the hood off. And the AC cooler was still in place too. True it only took a couple hours because Ellis had everything disconnected, but still...
