Been waiting for your next post or posts...
...had my cluster removed and back on again(after paint) and have rotors, calipers, shocks, stabilizer bars, seat trim (plastic) all off presently...
Next, is the whole console, door panels, knee bolster, glove box cover, the trim around it, and the lower fascia panel.
Yes, my friend, you have given me purpose. I will probably be giving you a ring around the holidays, to b.s. and talk a little...
...need to get you to K.C., maybe this year...talk to you soon!
Merry Christmas To You, Your Family, and Darla!

Looks great Jim. I cant believe you havent got them seats out of your way. When I am doing work on my inside them are the 1st things I take out so I dont bump them with something and tear or scuff the leather. Looks like I am going to start the big tear down after the new year after I get my new shop and lift.

I'll be giving mine a good detailing before everything goes back together...
Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas....

Wow, those are enlightening pictures! Did you just find all the fasteners or did you have some book or guide? Amazing looking.
So, tell us about that donut on the steering column. Is that the infamous column lock device?
Or is it like the EVO sensor on my Chevy truck for the variable assist power steering?
I've never seen pictures of any of that.
Thanks for sharing.

If you're referring to the yellow donut piece on the front of the column, it's labeled as the air restraint system coil. I'm guessing it's the part of the electrical system, (inductor), that stores the charge, (up to 20 seconds or so) to deploy the bag if the battery is disconnected in an accident. That's just a guess on my part though.
If I'm not mistaken, the column lock devise is located a little further back and utilizes an actuator to push a metal pin into the column to lock the steering.
Maybe somebody will chime in that has a little more knowledge about these parts.
Here's a couple more pics that might help on the locations.
