Exhaust removed, better deck lid and correct hood ready to install, trunk cleaned out, rear wiring harnesses repaired, aftermarket gauges removed, shifter bezel repaired, also counting the layers of paint. Lots to do but the process has begun.

Tweaking the non-original engine before I remove it. I'd like to have it running good before I pluck it from between the shock towers. Seems to be mildly modded with random hi-po parts, including a marine engine cast iron timing cover. I have NEVER seen one in person before, crazy.

I'm glad to have it too! Seems the guy you sold it too didn't send everything with it. Nor was it taken care of. All good now!

Haven't updated in a while. 84 FHP is coming along slowly. Working on 2 rare FHP's at the same time, crazy fun! Replaced scooped hood and peeling trunk deckled with better ones. Removed some aftermarket goodies. The engine in the car runs much better, it's temporary while I refresh the engine that goes into it.
