Steering it in the right direction…
Got a whole lot done today (and the past few nights). The dash has been removed, and the stubborn heater control button was finally disconnected from the dash, along with the horn button. On a whim, I wired the horn … Continue reading

More to go~
Started pulling more stuff out. Got the windshield wiper assembly off the top of the firewall, and after looking it over, I’ll likely order a similar setup instead of trying something different. I moved on to pulling back the main … Continue reading

Pulling (even) more stuff off…
Minor update, got the driver side fender support off tonight. This side proved to be a lot easier, about half the bolts running along the bottom didn’t have nuts on them and the rest came apart relatively easily. At some … Continue reading

Pulling more stuff off…
Took to wrenching off one of the the two fender supports this evening. I probably used half a can of WD-40 to clear off all the gunk on the nuts and bolts. For the most part getting everying off wasn’t … Continue reading
