Didn't see these replies lol

Not much more done on the car, other than I took my '84 carb off and started taking stuff off the motor and around in the engine bay.

I had decided, that I wouldn't pull the motor, just strip it down and clean and repaint around it.
BUT, after looking through Aaron's thread on his Kansas SSP, I have decided that... I will be going farther into this resto than most everyone has with their CHPs. Not saying that CHP owners have done cheap restos, I am just at the point of: 1, Repainting and putting it back together. or 2, taking the motor and trans out, stripping the front suspension and engine bay, and restoring the car like Aaron has done to his.

It's either, hurry and wish in the future that I had done a more thorough job, or do it right the first time. I don't believe any of us 85 CHP owners has done this thorough of a job?

Sorry Rich, I don't think 8337 will be able to attend Ripon this year as I had hoped , but I will try and get my dad to bring the EVOC.

Just thought I should update this since I hadn't in a while. I am shooting for the quality of a magazine car, and possibly have my car featured in the new Fox Mustang Mag someday if it sticks around. That is also why I want the equipment to be as correct as possible.

And thanks everyone for the kind comments before, they help keep me interested more and drive me to work on the car. It's kind of hard to where it is at right now, but I am trying to get it to paint before the summer ends

I can't wait to see my car in a line up like this
