			Day 1 engine bay.  I am opting not to do the orange engine overspray on intake and exhaust, just like the clean look better.  Still have a few details to finish up but mostly there.  Working on installing Gardner exhaust system with resonators now - stay tuned!  Feel free to point out any faux pas you see, you won't hurt my feelings - I just want it to be right!

			Day 1 undercarriage (except for TB's).  Gardner exhaust is high quality stuff.

			Removed the 1971 Lakewood traction bars and the 1970 Gabriel hijackers today.  I believe my underside work is now done.  Just need to restore the cowl induction air cleaner assembly - it was purchased NOS back in 1978, still had the blue GM sticker on it until last week.  After that, it's just front spoiler, Rats Nest wrap removal, and detailing the exterior before it's completely back to Day 1.
