Lil update here:

Removing the body sealer was hard work...

Luckily I had help from Steve

Once I had that all stripped I sandblasted the whole bay. Big thanks to Bill D. for the equipment hookup. With all that metal exposed I immediately got it over to Star Collision. This is what they had done as of Friday afternoon. So far they have been really great about communicating and making sure it turns out exactly as I want it.

I've been busy smoothing, polishing, planning all the various engine components. I gutted the trans, smoothed all the casting flash, and sandblasted it. It will soon be powdercoated, quaifed and re-assembled.

Body work in the engine bay is done.

Big fat counter-rotating props to Steve and the crew at Star Customs. The communication was excellent thought the project which was completed in less than a week and a half and most importantly the quality of work was top notch. Here is a little montage:

The engine is coming together nicely as well but I'm not quite ready to show pictures of that.
