The dash and most of the wiring has been removed. The insulation is in good shape and
just needs to be cleaned up a bit so I won't be removing it.
Removing the t-top seals was quite the chore, and I still have to remove all the
goo from inside the seal channel.
After the rear axle and gas tank had been removed two interesting items became apparent.
First, the black coating is undercoating which will need to be removed and the second
is that the underside of the car was not painted black from the factory. I will
need to find out if this is paint or primer that they didn't bother painting over.
Pretty much everything has been stripped from the car. The driver's-side door will
need to be replaced and the passenger-side door is in pretty good shape, it will
stay. I'm also going to try to remove the windshield and save it for my 1982 Trans
Am, which has a cracked windshield. I'm not sure they can be saved but it's worth
a try.
On top of the gas tank is a 52, I have no ideal what it means but I'm going to keep
it. Also note to skateboard which the gas tank is sitting on. Last time I moved
my mom suggested I should throw my skateboard away since I would never use it again.
Well I'm using it now :)
