Well the old guy got out and did some work this weekend.

Remove pass side from fender
Removed radio speaker ant etc
Removed the dash pad (harder than it looks) including wiper stuff , vents etc
Removed front glass.


Next pull gas tank.

Not sure if I need to pull eng to pull body off? anyone?

Get frame set to pull body off . then do it.
