I bet you'll be happy to get it back on the road. Projects always seem to take way longer than planned no matter what you do. And if I were you I paint that engine Chevy orange. You should try to shine up that carb too it would look pretty cool.

Did a bit more dissasembly today! when i bought the car the pass side of the bumper was crumpled alittle like someone backed into somthing or somthing so if i can fine one cheap it'll be getting replace and if not well it'll be easier to fix off the car anyways
