Im not 100% sure, but I think we're going to cut a hole and put it back where it was.. I may use the battery spot for the Snow Meth Inj kit, but not sure yet.

cool, was thinking the same thing or fabbing up some new fill spot and keep the cap off
Ok latest update is everything is taped off that i could get at, just need to remove the brake booster and master cylinder.
I cant go any further until my friend comes over the help me do the rest. I hope to have the old engine out tonight.
He's bringing the picker stand and my personal favorite.. sand blaster
Still not sure what to do the engine colors... im now thinking of a white or blue bay with yellow/blue engine... if i do the bay blue, ill match the blue later on and put some stripes on the car.
i swear im like a girl picking out new curtains... but im only going to be doing this once, feed back welcome

Have fun with the brake booster. You have to unbolt it from inside the car. I was unable to remove the booster without removing the pedal assembly; hopefully you'll have better luck than I did.
I have some more pics up of mine if you want to check progress:

lol ive been useing yours as a guide so far...
BTW i picked my colors
Candy apple blue engine bay
Mettalic Silver w/ candy apple blue on the engine... its going to look hot under the yellow
pulling the exhaust out now, im going to leave the trans in the car, just going to put a jack/wood under it
This def was harder, i used a 1/4 in rachet 9 in extension, there are holes at the top of the brake assemble to slide the rachet through... i was able to get the 4 bolts of with out touching the brake assembley, there are com other plugs and ties that need to be disconnected for the brake booster to pull out... and anyone reading this dont worry about pulling extra hard and bending the studs on the back of the booster, they are fine and need to get bent for it to slide out.
No need to bend 'em if you remove the pedal assembly. After removing the four bolts for the brake booster, you had only one bolt left to remove the pedal assembly. You probably could have shifted the assembly a bit to clear the bolts, or you could have disconnected the whole assembly.
You got the job done, that's all that really matters.
ALL NEW PICS WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after battling with the sand blaster and getting no where, i decided to go the chemical route and use some lacquer thinner... besides burning my self every 5 min its taking the paint off. the more you apply the faster it comes off... just did the first round and took about half the paint off... need to let it dry after washing it off the bay. ill prob sand off all the little spots and then get back to applying the thinner again... don't think ill have it prepped by the end of today...
You dont need to remove the old paint...you can paint right over it as long as it is prepped the right way..
Check out my Project Day #4....there are some details on there.
