dash removal



So I've been so excited about my carbs and wanting to work on the car that I went out tonight lookin for something to do and ended up removing the dash, upper and lower consoles and a bunch of deteriorating junk. I also figured out that my tranny is totally fine, it shifts great. It's the shifter mechanism that has funkyness. So I would like to get that figured out before Monterey if possible. Might have to wait tho. I want to get a big shop vac and vaccum all the *crap* out of the car. It was filled with leaves, dirt, pine needles, rotting insulation and other junk. Once the interior is clean, I can feel better about my little car. I'd like to try my hand at restoring the dash but that might be a tad aggressive. We'll see. It might be hard enought just getting it all back together.

Pics of my work here. Feels good to be working on the car again. Ran across another parts site: Spider Point.
