I'm getting closer to needing the rotisserie.  I've got everything stripped off the top side of the car (including the windshield), and there's just a few things to take off the bottom.  I'll wait for the rotisserie to work on the bottom.  Once I can lift it up and roll it into the driveway, I'll give the entire car the once-over with the pressure washer.  Then I'll get Randy to help me do some welding to fix up the battery boxes, which are rusted away.  Then, it should be ready for sandblasting.  I got a rough estimate from a place in Marion, and it sounds like I should be able to get the whole thing done, inside and out, top and bottom, for about $600.  Once that's done, I can get it to my brother-in-law's shop to get the bodywork done.  Then the fun starts...putting stuff back on!

Here's the taillight assembly, showing that the bottom lamp is the one with 2 wires.

This shows how the front anchor for the convertible top is pop riveted to the body.

Here's how the corner trim at the right end of the dash is riveted.

This is what it looks like after the dash pad is removed.

Here's the catch for the fresh air vent behind the speaker panel.

This shows where the wiring harness runs up through the trunk floor.

The trunk wiring harness runs up the panel to the bottom of the rear deck...

...then down the wheel well to the rear of the trunk.

Here's how the fuel pump is mounted.

The fuel line is fastened to the bottom of the trunk.

This shows the clamp of the engine compartment wiring harness.

Here's the 2 clamps for the hood release cable.
