Well I got it apart !! Still need to pull the engine (its almost out).  So now here's some good before shots !!

Well after my near death experience on roller skates I have finally been able to get back to work on the car !!
I am almost ready to put the engine back in !!  I decided since I had the engine and tranny out that now would be a good time to install a shift kit !! Yeahhhhhh !! Got to go back to Summitt Racing !!  Hopefully tomorrow the father in law and I will be able to get the core support welded back together.  If I hadn't said I found a little rot under the battery tray on the support so we cut the bad metal out and are welding in some new.  Anyways here's a few shots of what it's looking like now.  And yes I did paint the sparkplugs blue but don't worry those are the old plugs.

Dude...that looks excellent!! Any pix of the repairs to the core support?? I have a perfect one but also have 3 "so-so" ones that I will be patching up so I'm curious....

Sorry to hear about the skate accident...should I ask?

[Gold78Spc]

I'll take some shots of it. And in the general section theres the description of the "incident on skates"
