Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.

Today's pics.  All glass out.  Dash out. Heater box out.  E brake out. Rear out.
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

I didn't realize you were going all the way with this car. Will you put it on a rotisserie?

No.  I have some cart wheels it will go on when I bring it to the painter.  He is going to fix the rust, prep, paint and stripe it.  As well as paint the hood and such original organisol.  While it's there, I'll build the 340, restore all the suspension, rebuild the rear, clean the interior, fix the lean in the driver's seat, get the trim polished, and on and on.  And also get back to work on the jeep!

Are you going to correct the caliper position when you reassemble it ?

Getting loaded up into the trailer.  Went to the painter today.

Now that the body is off to the painter,  time to clean the garage and start working on the rest of the parts!

I liked picture #908 above, I had the bracket in a pile of stuff but didn't know where it belonged. Thx

Looks good!

Did they do patches in the trunk and then body filler to hide the welded area?  Did you just buy a trunk floor and cut sections off?  Asking because mine for the most part is nice but two areas need to be addressed.

Also, where did you find your car dollies?
