Looks solid. :thumbs: I'd go with some BBS-like wheels.

I pulled the engine last night and tore it down. It was in amazing shape. Tonight I resealed and reassembled it. I also cleaned up all of the engine tin. I am going to paint all of it tomorrow morning so it can dry while I am at work. I have a new firewall insulation kit that I need to install along with some motor mounts. I should have the engine back in by tomorrow evening.

I got all of the engine tin painted and something was wrong with the paint that I used. It turned out very rough and dull. So, I sent all of the tin out to be sand blasted and painted. I hope to have it back soon. I got the engine together and it is ready to go in. Its not going to take much to get this thing going. :D

I guess I am going to switch gears for a couple of days and work on the 72. I have had no luck with the 62. I am going to work on getting the engine bay cleaned up tonight and see what kind of progress i can make on installing some new seals (doors, trunk deck lid, etc)

I finally got back to this project. I got the engine installed last night. I need to finish up putting in the engine tin and then work on the interior.

Got the engine finished up. It runs like a champ. I need to paint the factory air cleaner and tidy up a couple of wires. I am going to work on the window scrapers/door seals this week and see what else I can get accomplished.
