We took the front fenders, nose, & hood off the car. The engine compartment is going to be pressure washed and repainted. Hopefully this car will not need this again for another 40 years.

Rally II wheels (14 x 6) mounted on new tires, still need the dark metalic paint.

The intake manifold that came off the car is a Edelbrock Performer RPM Pontiac. Soon to be replaced with a date casted 1968 Ram Air I intake manifold.
