thanks folks....this whole build , especially the engine bay, has given me a whole new appreciation for those older cars you see in the magazines and at the shows...
car is going to remain root beer metallic, roof will no longer be cream, just body color, bay mint green, probably with brown flake and the center of wheels will be mint green as well as root beer metallic ;), polished lips...etc....

havent really got to work on the car this past week..but today was able to cut all the random studs off, and reservoir mount, removed some more of the paint, dropped exhaust, dropped shifter box...tomorrow will be devoted to working on the firewall mainly....
well got the all metal work completed with the bay...primed it with epoxy primer and slick sand, going to sand it down again, apply the fiberglass filler to upper firewall area, sand it down again...apply some reg filler, sand it down again, prime it and paint it....
shooting for this ride height....maybe just a hair higher in the rear

so with this shave the bay treatment i will also be switching powerplants... will be replacing the econo 8v for a 16v
specs: 2.0L 16v engine - rebuilt 10Kmiles ago. Originally 1.8L that was bored to 2.0L and fitted with 10:1 JE forged pistons. Bottom end rebuilt with all new bearings, seals, bolts, etc. The cylinder haed was sent and had a 3 angle valve job, cleaned and decked, new guides, stem seals, and cam chain. New timing belt and waterpump.
also ordered these last night for my fenders and rad support
