quick update, I was able to remove the stock Wiring Harness yesterday but I think I'll be waiting until I finish the motor and do the wiring at the same time I drop the engine in. also the passenger side fender had extremely minor cracks in the paint so I took it down to the shop and having them paint it over again.

I also removed the sound deadening from the interior of the car. with some dry ice it's super easy. all said and done the dam thing weighed 43lbs!! I was happy to see that the floor pan is in excellent condition underneath as well

quick shots I took at night:
