Today's tasks were a bit easier. We began by removing the cowl; something I was not looking forward to since this project began. As it turned out, it was probably the easiest of all the panels...no rusty fasteners at all.
To the right, pictured is the one piece cowl or front shroud. It is solid aluminum and in excellent condition. There are two small dents in the front of the cowl and now that it has been removed from the car it can be "worked" more easily.
It probably took longer to remove the steering wheel than anything else we did today. The adjustable steering wheel was rusted to the column making it difficult to remove. Once the wheel was off the car, the dash was easily removed. With the dash detached, the gauges and switches could be easily disconnected and labeled.
Tomorrow, we will begin disconnecting the engine and transmission. The engine will probably be pulled on Monday if everything goes well the next two days.
Stay tuned,
Tom
