After acid dipping the car went through several stages of neutralizing washes prior to being shipped to Detroit, washed again, and E-coated with an epoxy primer, in an attempt to get into all the boxed and welded-in sections.
I am embarrased to say that work was done nine years ago. Two daughters later I have now found the time to really begin the project in earnest. I have been seriously working on the car for only the past two years. It will be on the road this year, even if it kills me!
The picture is deceiving; the car is more silver than blue. The color is late model Ford.
Below is picture of the Ford Big Block header clearance to the A-arms, fuel tank and shock. Things are tight, especially up front.
