Got some work done today, was able to pull the front end pretty much apart. Gonna pick up another engine stand and pull it outta there soon. Also gotta order up some black paint so I can start sraying stuff that im reusing like the core support and such.

Nice job! That looks like a lot of greasy work. I know I have it ahead of me too. Love seeing the progress. It helps keep the motivation high.

68Timber · 02-10-2013, 09:20 PM

Way to tear into it. Nothing but time and money, right?

gumbys10 · 02-10-2013, 10:00 PM
