Day 8,9

Removed the dash.  This was a long process because there were many electrical connections that had to be documented / tagged before the assembly could be finagled out.  Lots of time spent on my back with vertical floor seam sticking into my back and my feet sticking out the vent window openings. 

Here is a view of the dash-less car.

Removed the remaining bolts holding the fiberglass frame.  There is no way these would have come out without taking the dash off first!

It also took considerable time to break the fiberglass body away from the firewall assembly as there was a continuous bead of sealant in this area, and no easy way to get between the panels to sever it.

Removed the body panels and stored them under tarps in the back yard.  There is one tarp layer underneath everything and two layers on top.  Here are some views of the topless car and stored panels.

Removed the wiper motor and drive assembly.  Removed the speedometer cable and headlight raising mechanism.  Removed the, gear shift linkage up to the firewall.  Removed the rear wiring harness back to the fuel tank compartment.  Removed the fuel tank and filler connections.

And last, but not least, discovered that the missing cap to the brake fluid cannister still is with the car.  It had just slipped back behind and between the bottles.
