Now I have full access to the underneath of the firewall to drill out the rest of the spot welds. This will allow me to remove the firewall and RHD dash and replace it with my LHD out of my original rig.
Also did some media blasting on a few parts and painted a few of them.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
Ceiling under headliner has some glue left over. Will need to wirewheel that off!
Rear seat attachment points media blasted and repainted. Look like new!
All the weather stripping and door/window rubber removed.
Spot weld removal on firewall starting to come along.
Fuel lines disconnected.
Body mounts disconnected.
Brake lines disconnected.
Clearance looks solid.
Frame officially removed!
Front body.
Rear body.
1. Remove firewall completely.
2. Clean undercarriage.
3. Repair a couple rust spots.
4. Sand.
5. Add seam sealer
6. Paint.
Obviously that's oversimplifying things, but that's what this body needs. I will still need to essentially do much of this again with the original truck except I wont care so much about the body, but just the firewall and dash.
One step at a time...
