When we last left off, I was working on finishing undercoat removal. Well, I'm more or less done with that. At least with the parts of the undercoat removal that I can get to and that I'm going to do. I've left the floor pan, battery box, and longitudinals largely unscraped, because they are getting replaced and there is no point in giving them attention. That was a lot of heating and scraping. Not too fun. I estimate that all told, I collected somewhere on the order of 50-75 lbs of undercoat and dirt from the wheel wells and rear area behind the engine. The only part I think I will need to work on more will be the area under and around the engine, but I can't do that until I drop the engine.

Alex and I were going to drop the engine this weekend, but he ran out of time so we will get to it soon. In the meantime I have resumed interior disassembly and removal. Steering wheel, gauges, glove compartment, radio, various dash knobs, etc. It is not always easy because you have to lie on the floor pan and peer up underneath the dash a lot to see what you are doing. Also it is not documented in the service manual or much of the other literature. Most of it is straightforward, but not all. For instance, I'm stuck right now removing a piece of housing from the steering column that is behind the turn switch. Hopefully 356talk will come through again. What a great resource.

I still need to call the media blaster.

I think I have located an engine. No really this time. A 1964 C, which should work very well indeed.
