Subject: Re: Season's over and time to rebuild. by rklessdriver on 2013/12/9 19:50:31 Whoops! Almost forgot to update on the car itself. Saturday I was able (with some help) to get the interior dissassembled and the car ready to go to the chassis shop which will be this weekend (15 Dec). What a PITA. The dash is made up of 3-4 seperate peices and all that plastic is razor sharp. I am gutting this thing to get as much weight as I can out of it. The main wiring harness behind the dash is HUGE... I really want to cut it up and get rid of everything but the headlights, turn signals and brake lights but that may be more electrical than I can figure out. The center consol wouldn't come out no matter what I did and I just left it instead of breaking it. The factory carpet is super heavy in these cars... it's backed by some type of heavy rubber. I may have to do something else with new lightweight carpet of some sort when it goes back together. A guy is comming this week to remove the windshield as I need a new one anyway (cracked). The previous owner removed the heater/AC box but left all the ducting and left the defroster switch box/door assy in the middle of the dash. I already got rid of all the ducting but plan to get the defroster box/door once the glass is removed... it's really jammed back there behind the massive alum dash brace/crash bar. Also the rear speaker boxes are lined with that rubber mat... any idea how to pull it out? I have managed to cut the front half out but the rear half is not budging... looks like it was preformed peice and dropped in before that top pannel was riveted on. Will |
