Yeah. I feel good.

I accomplished what I set out to do, didn't have a hard time with any of it and found things in better shape than I had expected. Got the inner fenders off, only lost three bolts (I'm gonna need a set of easy-outs) and got the radiator support removed. I thought I'd have trouble since the stud that holds it on was rusted solid but since the botton of the support is rotted out, it simply lifted off. Had to grind the stud off though. Will probably wind up just replacing the whole radiator support if my buddy John in CA can hook me up with one. The other nice surprise was the "dog houses" where the front of the body is attached to the frame. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I've seen so much bottom up rot but... well, the photos below tell the story. Just some surface rust. Very nice to see!

And yeah... check out her original maroon paint! She sure was a purdy thing!

Today's word: WHEW!
