update:
rust removal has began- the under body has been cut, patched and sprayed with 3 coats of undercoating spray to prevent future rust
the rear quarter panels have been sanded down and ready to cut for new metal/pain to remove rust and front fender dents have been popped out ready for sum prep work before paint

the hood is actually ok jus misaligned and needs smoothed out in some areas... hoping to get a cf hood down the road the
the head lights are actually very clear jus needed washed, and im gonna refinish the high beams when i start work on the front end and have the bumper off
new wheels are to come i jus want it running and looking goood before i start replacing what isnt broken, one step at a time.... fix all the problems then go on for additions

ohh and i think ill keep the mesh in (prolly paint it black) till i can afford (or find a great deal) on a 97 grill

should be interesting, looks like a lot of work-but it'll all be worth it! 4 month deadline, looks like you're not going to be getting any sleep! GL
