Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Todays plan was to remove the rest of the wiring loom.

Part of it had been threaded through the body and fibreglassed into and under the channel of the entrance/door.

Unfortunately I just could not get the leverage to remove the loom while it was on the trolley.

So I fetched a mattress I have had on reserve for years. Since doing the C10 cab that I rolled onto its back, while working on it.

So I flipped the body onto its side, supported by a 2x4 and some,gravity.





Halfway there.

I also used my side cutters a few times, which would make @nickwheeler very proud.

After all, planning is to fit the MX5 loom completely, editing the bits not needed from it.




Cutters next, both sides.



Once down flat on the trolley, the next job was to undo and remove the blower and heater unit.

It may be of use to a restorer.



Undoing and removing the steering and more wiring next.



Out with that lot.



And then it was a lot clearer.

Decided to leave the pedal box in place as well as the brake m/c till I compare them with the MX5 units.



And from the front.



Happy with that lot.

More work to do for the day would get me to my objective for the day.

But I was chatting to @pauly this morning and mentioned to him as well, that this needs to continue being a pleasure and not a chore.

Sometimes a fine line to keep to.
