May 2007


I removed the water pump and power steering reservoir/pump.

Today, the carb, fuel pump, and AC compressor came off.  The carb was full of water.

I bought a set of 4 15×7 snowflake wheels on eBay for $181. Spent about 30 minutes just seeing how well they will clean up. Looks like with very little work, they will shine nicely.

The front bumper, radiator, transmission cooler, and alternator have been removed.

The fenders and inner wheel wells are off.  I also removed the horns and hood latch.  I think I swept up another 5 pounds of rust.

I removed the hood, hood hinges, and a few other pieces today.  Levi, Michaiah, & Lily helped operate the ratchet.

I removed the nose and parking lights.  I left the headlights mounted in the nose.  Found some more acorns below the radiator.
