Gint,

Why did you remove the wiring harness?

BTW, nice job on the rusto, keep up the good work and the inspiration for the rest of us.

Full repaint. Most of the car will be completey stripped. Slight surface rust along the inside of the dash also. I might as well get it all out and get it all clean.

See the scale in these pics?

I had left the gauge cluster hanging while fighting with the dash pad and the wiring harness. I also left the key in the ignition so I wouldn't have to hunt it down if I needed to turn the wheel. Guess what happened.

Believe it or not, the Ace Hardware guy managed to make a new key from this one. And it works! Good thing too, because this one was the only key I have for this car.

Pretty empty now. Just a few more odds n ends. I need to leave the suspension on it for now to get it on and off the trailer.

I thought I heard a little about this car coming west again. Didn't know for sure. What kind of time frame are you looking at?

Gint,

Thats a lot of work. I took one completely apart, including the wiring harness, for a complete repaint. Unfortunately my plans changed and I sold the car (in plastic bags). It was a lot of fun though, taking every nut and bolt off the car. Maybe the good news is I didn't have to try to put it back together again, although I was pretty careful to label all the parts.

That car is now running and driving. I drove it a few weeks back. Darren did a good job of getting it all together.

You lost me again Brad. The dash top? The rest of the dash is still attached.

QUOTE

Dunno how long it will be before it's done. I'm heading for L.A. to Dunkle's and then up to NorCal with Brad and the rest on Sunday afternoon. I might be picking up a roller for Brant on the way back.

Thanks Dennis. Too much time/money in it to sell it off. The plan is to keep it for at least five years and let the car pay be back in "smiles per mile".

I'll just leave it on the tub. I saw a couple of screws on the side, but I haven't looked real hard for the rest of the attachment points. Can't be too hard to remove now that there's nothing left.

4 screws in the front, 10 mm nuts under the cowl, accessible front the front trunk. 2 (i believe) screws on each side and maybe one under the dash in the middle, can't remember, too long ago.

All right, I'm done for the day. If I keep going, I'd have to put on pants. It's starting to get a little chilly. I have the bare panels all covered in POR-15 Metal Ready. The engine lid and side panels are all stripped of the grill material. The adjustable prop valve and the lines to the rear brakes are out. The brake and fuel lines are all disconnected and un-restrained in the tunnel. All I have to do is:

The under the car work to get the MC, lines and the resevoir out.
Take out the ashtray bracket, glovebox door and lock.
Remove the tar from the top of the tunnel (that's all the tar that is left).
I think the threshold aluminum piece is still on the passenger side.
Swap out some wheels for the trip on the trailer.
Strip the windows out of the doors and swap out the passenger door.

I think that's about it. Tomorrow's another day. Pretty much my last full day to get this stuff done before I leave on Friday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Dude,

You overwhelm me. I'm whining about an alternator and some fan shroud issues. Sheesh. (I did take it off today, and am now cleaning it for repairs -- hate old oily crap) Your car will rock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) and I look forward to see it on the road!
