This is a picture of it about 5-6 years ago after it was painted.

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...2/Scan0001.jpg

It is kind of bad quality sorry...but it was a scan.

It still looks like that, but rust is coming through again!

It has a leak by the vaulve cover near the exhaust manifold. A buddy thinks it might be exhaust leaking out, I think it might be oil leaking out and getting burnt up. Eaither way I am going to replace the gasket and put fancy vaulve covers on.

I would love to get some headers. My father and I put a new exhaust from cat back, and now from engine to cat needs to be replaced...go figure.

I just took the AC motor out, and the thing infront of the radiator out(I always forget the name of that thing). Now I just need to remove the other part which I do not know the name of. It is silver in the upper left hand corner under the hood, has all the AC hoses running to it. I took it out to reduce wieght a small amount, but mostly it was a waste of space. I never used it. The one time i tried to put it back together, the AC was not charged anyway, but I dont care about AC in a muscle car any way.

Removing the AC will also help me to get to the powe steering pump (AGAIN!).

It also needs some frame work.

Oh and new interior.

Welcome to the forum. I think a cowl hood would look good and would be possibly cheaper.
