Entry 5: 2/16/2022
I graduated college in 2013 and eventually got tired of renting apartments and always having to hunt down relatives or friends for a place to store the car. In 2015 I bought a house with a 1.5 car garage and finally had a place to store the car. In all honesty the garage was just a large wooden shed, but it would later serve the purpose of the place where I would tear the car down to a rolling chassis.
In the fall of 2015, I did a complete tear down. Bagged and tagged everything and moved anything that I intended on keeping into the spare bedroom of my house. Somethings got stored in the garage but for the most part everything was stored in my spare bedroom. The girlfriend was not a fan.
Sold the original motor, original transmission, heater core, front core support and front sub frame over that winter.
By March of 2016 the tear down was complete, and I had everything bagged, tagged, or stored away in a somewhat orderly fashion.
Ended up taking out a personal unsecured loan and proceeded to buy a DSE powder coated front sub frame with adjustable shocks, sub frame connectors, LS engine mounts, firewall heater core block off panel, Holly T-56 transmission tunnel hump, pro-touring F-body solid body mounts, and a Tanks Inc. EFI tank kit.
In the Summer of 2016 I sent her off to have the undercarriage, interior pans, trunk pans, and firewall professionally media blasted and painted.
