Well, I've got a problem with my engine again so I've got an excuse to pull my engine and do some more work to her :D.


Whilst she's down I will be doing this to it...


ENGINE

- Block is getting bored over
- Head is getting ported and polished
- New Gaskets all around
- Re-Building the Weber and Re-Jetting it
- New Air Filter
- Offy Intake
- Flowmaster or stacks (haven't decided yet :))
- (new gears?)


INTERIOR

- Bolt in new floor boards
- Tearin out the cracked dash
- New deck/subs (custom box behind seat)/speakers
- Rhino-Line the dash/doors/floorboard
- Bench Seat is getting re-upholstered and custom stitching
- Mikado steering wheel (know where I can get one?)


EXTERIOR

- Put on my bull bar
- Fix broken fog light
- Rip out existing purple tint and replace it
- Try to find a stepside in good condition



Now, while I've got her stripped is there anything else I need to/should do?



Thanks guys.

I was planning on rhinolining the bottom of the tub after I treat it as well, but the frame? I've never heard of this...

well i had the unfortunate pleasure of living in ohio :cry: for 14yrs swore i'd never take the chance after what i've seen and what happened to a buddy.
we put a 327 into his '76 nova after 6 hrs. of work it was already to go.30 seconds into his burnout the nose was pointing straight and the ass end tried to come up to meet it :esurprised 8O and prior to this he swore up n down that the frame was good.
but besides it protecting it personally i think it looks good.
