Re: '80 stepside swb retromod project
We removed the really awesome shell last weekend. Someone actually wanted it and came to get it yesterday. Day 1 of the teardown consisted of removing the bed, and front clip, and removal of the po's wiring jobs. Thankfully they only tapped into a few of the factory wires. May not sound like we got a ton accomplished, but we took everything apart on the front end as we are going to be cleaning and painting it all. I work on vehicles all day long for a living, and I have to say they are not built like they used to be. I was amazed at the amount of hardware we removed. The new cars are all plastic clips and poorly put together. This thing could survive the apocolypse!
We have a garage to work in, but it was a really nice day today and the carport worked out great.
