Disassembly complete
OK, the easy part is done. The interior is gutted and I have no suspension at all. Everything came out really easily includng the T-Arms.

Started Saturday afternoon.
Sat - interior stripped
Sun/Mon - front suspension all removed
Tues/Wed - rear suspension all removed
Thurs - steering box removed
Issues so far.
Had to pull driver's side header and side pipe to get the steering box out. In the process, I broke the terminal off the temp sender. $19.00 from Lectric Limited. Also found a rust hole in the radiator support.
Plan now is to start back with the interior and then move to the suspension. I am not relishing getting the T-Arm shims back in.
Still need to swap the intake manifold but that is a quick 2-3 hour job.
I am running the T-Arms and steering box down to Gary (gtr1999) on Monday. He will probably not get to them for 3-4 weeks but I can hope. Plan is to get the car back on the road by the end of May since I am moving in July and have family commitments in June.
I think it is doable but if any NE bubbas want to stop by and help, I'll buy the beer.
