| I pulled the nut for the body mount that wasn't 'catching' out, ran a body bolt through it... no problems. Once I put it back in, bolt still wouldn't catch. Had Michael put the bolt through without the nut being in place.. was obvious that the bolt was just a little short to catch. Since I don't have any longer bolts, I cut the bottom bushing in half. Bolt went in just fine with the shorter bushing, and it should still isolate the body from vibration some. |
| Went ahead and took the heater box out, now that I could get to all the bolts. It's seen better days, but is in serviceable condition. I have not yet removed the inside heater stuff. |
| Firewall gets more and more bare every day. |
| Michael had a great idea about how to get the spinning J-nuts out.. tack weld the nuts to whatever part of the body they're supposed to be on. This works quite well for most of them. While I was working on taking the clip apart... |
| ... Michael cut the windshield out. I wasn't expecting him to do it, so it was a great surprise when he called me over to help lift the windshield. |
| Dash and windshield channel have a little more rust than I had thought. These holes will get cut out and new metal welded in. |
