started working on the F-30 today. taking her apart. Thought I would post a couple of pics......this is going to be a loooooooong process.

Hood, valve cover, and rocker's off. Hood took the most time. All the control rods were rusted solid. Lot's of propane, PBlaster, and patience got the hood off. Yes, I disassembled, not cut or destroyed.
