Almost done with disassembly

Video of the work in progress
Tuesday and Wednesday, August 2-3, 2011, were two of the hottest days since the creation of earth. I was able to bend wrenches and various other large pieces of steel with my bare hands but that served no useful purpose, so I stopped.
I was able to remove a great deal of the interior and exterior parts, and continued to photograph and tag and bag everything I could.
If I had to say what remains of deconstruction, it would include:

Removal of front and rear windshields and all left and right door glass.
Removal of engine, transmission, gas tank and related items.
Removal of speedometer cluster and minimal knobs on the front dash.

I'm sure there is more, but that is 99.99 percent of the major stuff.

At that point, it will then be:
Removal of all paint
Repair of body rust by welding in new plates
Prime car and prepare for paint

There will be no work on the car on Thursday and Friday. We are having a cookout on Thursday night in honor of our good friend Brandon Stephens, who is moving, and on Friday I am going to hit a golf ball.
