:goodpost: Me, I started on the motor since that was needing attention. Yours is mechanically good so you're off the hook on that. I'd start by fixing the dented fender, but that' me. Heck, if I was as far ahead as you seem to be, I'd be all over the car. But then again, I have a touch of ADD, so . ...

Yep.

Took out the front seats and carpet.

Thanks for all the tips on getting this thing off. :)-D So far (aside from ripping out the package area crap) this has been the easiest chore to date. Kudos to you all and to Clark's for that awesome tool! How bad was the HB ? this came off when I removed the fan belt. Tell me again how this car all...

Will post updates as I go.

I'm going to close my eyes and hope it goes away. LOL Seriously, I have a friend with a sheet-metal shop and we've been studying how to handle it. One person asked me if the car had been stored upside-down in a creek for that area to be so awful. I'll be addressing that area and others once I make s...

Thanks! Gotta find one for my B&D grinder. :tu: As a person who is currently in the second 1/2 of stripping my LM Corvair to metal, I would strongly suggest the use of one of these on a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder. It removes everything but steel and does it fast enough it is like wiping it off... ...

Puller arrived from Clark's today!

No better way to become intimate with the workings of a car than to do everything by hand.

Of course, an orbital sander does, too. :D

While waiting for the harmonic balancer to arrive, I wanted to keep busy with some minor body stuff. I got a 400 grit wet-dry double-sided sanding pad and turned the hose on a gentle stream. After about twenty minutes. This: https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11924558_1020518...

Nailed it.
