Interior back to Day 1.

Day 1 engine bay. I am opting not to do the orange engine overspray on intake and exhaust, just like the clean look better. Still have a few details to finish up but mostly there. Working on installing Gardner exhaust system with resonators now - stay tuned! Feel free to point out any faux pas you see, you won't hurt my feelings - I just want it to be right!

I must say,very well done.

Day 1 undercarriage (except for TB's). Gardner exhaust is high quality stuff.

Removed the 1971 Lakewood traction bars and the 1970 Gabriel hijackers today. I believe my underside work is now done. Just need to restore the cowl induction air cleaner assembly - it was purchased NOS back in 1978, still had the blue GM sticker on it until last week. After that, it's just front spoiler, Rats Nest wrap removal, and detailing the exterior before it's completely back to Day 1.

Re-installed the original wiper panel and non-spoiler trunk lid - more garage art! Wrap removal is next week.

Love a manual with no console.

One last look at Rats Nest in "drag"

Wrap guy says "this is gonna hurt".
