Here is the interior. Note: the seats, headliner and dash pad are in really good shape for their age.

 NEXT UPADATE April 26th, 2009

I added some window screen to the bottom of the cowl panel and repainted the could vent flat black and the screen mesh chrome. Then used zip ties to attach it. Check it out. I think this will keep leaves from getting through into the cowl. Let me know what u think. -Matt

As far as plans we are fixing the oil leak and some bad freeze plugs. I plan to do a emissions delete also and get rid of all that extra vaccume. Which will improve looks ALOT. Ill keep you updated. Let me know how im doing -Matt

NEXT UPDATE July 3, 2009

Well its been a while so I need to update. Well the motor is painted and back into the car. Alls well except the rear main i believe still is leaking so imma fix that under the car. As far as upgrades go I put alot of chrome on the motor gave it a fresh coat of GM blue paint and got completely new exhaust. I installed Headman Hedders and a 2.5" exhaust with an X pipie to 2 Flowmaster 40 mufflers and stopped the tips right by the quater panels out of site. Sounds Awesome. Here are some pics of the motor back in the car.

This is me hard at work getting it back together. It looks SO amazing in there!
