Today I began by removing the spider, the roll bar, and the firewall.
Then I started in with the removal of the rear suspension. Took a LOT of pictures of everything before disassembly and also reassembled things as much as possible - putting all bolts, spacers, nuts, etc. back in place so that it can serve as a guide when I reach the point to put the suspension back on. Did the left side suspension first which took me the better part of two hours. After that learning curve I was able to disassemble the right side in about 20 minutes.
Two small furniture dollies from Harbor Freight worked well as rollers for the rear suspension.
Got a call today that my fuel senders have been modified for length and ohm range and are being shipped back to me. Once I get them back I can begin to set up my fuel tanks for installation. RCR also let me know that the A/C parts have been shipped and should arrive shortly. I expect to spend a lot of time mocking up the installation of the brake lines and the A/C lines and the pedals to make sure they don't interfere with each other before drilling the first hole or making the first cut. As a result I'm spending a lot of time going though Chuck and Ryan's build for guidance as well as a number of the other excellent builds on this Forum and the online manual from RCR.
