Well its official. I am not working on installing my Headers, and Valve Cover gaskets. The passenger fender is 100% off the inner fender is off and the front headlight a grill is off. Well why did I remove that much? Why not. :) Accually its just cause I wanted to see what it would take to put a snorkle on the beast. Really it wouldn't take that much. Just a few holes and moving of the Electrical box. Something to think about now that I can do it.

Anyways I am not to far along yet. I have started spraying all the bolts with Gunk's Liquid Wrench with Teflon in preperation of removal. I also will possibly be getting a hi-flow cat just to add a tad bit more power.
 






No update - Are you still trying to get the bolts off?
 






This is a SLOWWWWWWWW Project. :) I am not wanting to spend a huge amount of time in the garage every night. So I just do it a tad bit on the weekends. Right now I am just spraying all the bolts every night in preperation of removal. Otherwise I really have not done much. I would guess this will take me a month or so to complete. I just HATE working on my vehicle every evening just trying to finish something. So I work on it when I want to and then its much more fun. Plus I got something to drive while I do this project so its not like it has to be back on the road anytime soon. I will be taking pictures though so.. :)
