Finally!! (Day 1)

We are finally REALLY starting to restore the car. Except before you can restore it, you have to take it all apart. So that's what we started on today. Mike jumped in there and first took off the hood... and then starting taking apart the engine and all those fun things.


This is right after Mike took off the hood, before he really started doing much.



This is when he was done for the day.




This is a closer look at the engine bay. Notice the big gap where he removed a ton of stuff?

Mike was saying he could have the engine out in an hour but we ran out of time to work on it today. Plus his dad has the engine hoist in use so we have to wait for his dad to finish using it on the Mustang he is working on.

Anyways I am excited to finally get going on this. I am hoping progress continues. I also would like to eventually do a post with the door tag and Vin number and decode it all. It is interesting what you can find out from tags.
