Well, I picked the car up from NY and towed it to where I am in NC. When i picked it up I remembered that the head was off of it. I deecided to look and see if there was any rust on the cylinder walls and of course after a winter in Syracuse with no head on it it has rust on the walls. It looks like I should be able to clean it up. If not, then the goal will turn into 10's on a built bottom end with the 50 trim. I would rather do that than do a stock rebuild now and build it later obviously because of the cost difference.

I got back to NC at 8:00 this morning and I started taking some more weight off the car. I got some wiring out that I don't need any more due to me eliminating things(speakers, washer pumps etc.). I also took off the rear bumper support and am trying to decide whether I need to cut holes in the bumper cover or make something to support it so nothing happens when it catches the air. If anybody wants they can add pics of what they did to the rear bumper cover after removing the bumper.

These are just a couple of pictures from today when I was taking some weight out of the car.

This mess was under the carpet when I pulled it up. Now I know what those wires going to my fuse box were.

After taking the sound deading off the floor. Luckily on my car it all came off in big chunks by hand.

The rust that I need to try and get off the cylinders. It all appears to be surface rust. Any tips would be great.
