Here it sits now... Completely stripped minus the rear Differential and rear portion of the Wiring Harness. Only one broken bolt on the whole thing, the mirror pivot bolt of all things. Between my Engine Crane and a few strapping buddies, I think it will be easy to just turn the carcass as required to get at the bottom. Your right Jim, a rotiserrie would be overkill. As it is now, I can lift up the front end myself.





I'm going to go at it section by section. Because i'm doing this all in my attached garage, i'm thinking about building a 2"x4" wood frame around it and close it in with Poly. Should keep the nasty dust contained. I suppose if the Ziebart in the nooks and crannys underneath proves a bitch to remove, I can use a small Pressure Pot Blaster.

Thanks for the tip on the Primer Don. I'll check it out at the local Napa. Sounds like it would be perfect for this. We hauled that MUTT down to the Swords last spring. I ended up yanking a few more parts from it, but the tub and suspension is still there.
