Ok, after going and getting my taxes dropped off at my accountant last night and realizing I owe Uncle Sam again
(my accountant claims that this is a good problem to have oweing money. He says it means im making money. Every thousand I hand the uncle makes me see a car part I could buy!!!!) Oh well!

I needed a little pick me up and headed to the shop for a little 46 time. Thankfully pops was there too and we started tearing some of the remaining parts off of her. First we took out the seats which required a liberal dose of heat from the torches and lots of PB Blaster to break the bolts loose. It exposed a really solid floor pan that I am happy to have. Pops then got really froggy and started pulling bolts on the front end so we could remove the front clip.

After pulling the bolts that mounted the clip to the body and the one bolt that holds the front of the clip to the car (amazing that this one bolt really locates the whole front end) dad and I pulled the front clip right off of the car and set her on the shop floor. Looks really good. A few patch panels needed in the dog legs and a few in the floor pans but I am super happy with the condition of this body. Dad and I found a cool 1960 penny and a 1934 nickle (indian head with a bison tail). So neat. Some pics for ya.
