I got the firewall tacked in a bit more and i love the look of the bare metal and the tacks. I do not want to completely weld it up and was thinking of just clearing over the are metal and the welds. It looks pretty mean like that and flat black. May just grind down the tacks and clear it.....

I got a Autozone Gold battery with 1000 CA 850CCA and bumped the engine over for the first time in a year and 3-4 months. I only rotated the crank 3 rotations and about a 1/4 turn at a time. I found one cylinder #6 with some light moisture in it. not rust but that light red sweat. Once fired up next week i think it will clear it out.

I have 3inches between my water pump pulley and rad... dont think i can get a clutch fan in there so ill have to go with an electric one.
