well today started out like this.....decided what is going on financially for car, and what is getting done first and where. Floors it is! We are going to be having Paul at RPM take care of ALOT of this car. He came out and looked at it, which was awesome, was very straightforward with us, and all in all we feel like its gonna be in the right hands for the repairs needed. so, since we are keeping some costs down, we are making the car a roller for him to do the whole floor/actual body mounts on the body for the subframe/fender tabs/some other rust repairs since he will have it and can do what he needs to. down the road when its time we will be having him install a front clip (yet to be decided, really looking at the speedtech) with all new sheetmetal upfront along with mostly new chrome. still undecided on keeping the body trim stripe on the car, but the vinyl top is staying with the factory yellow paint.
i took off the whole front lighting harness, along with the entire engine harness. we will need to either make new ones or find new ones. this is where having a 74 sucks, because alot of stuff is only listed up to 72 then skips to 75-79. have to see how much is still 72 stuff, the problem is alot of people dont know. engine should be out later this week, along with the brake lines fuel lines exhaust etc.
