A Pony's Carcass

Organs and entrails removed, labeled and carefully arranged on the garage floor, the pony is now merely a shell of its former self –an empty lifeless carcass with only the gas tank and rear axle left for us to take.  I am thankful it is made of steel and fiberglass and not flesh lest it fester and stench as it decomposes in the heat of a North Georgia summer. The FFR kit will be ready for pick up in 10 days!

Not much left of this pony

The Heart Of The Beast

This weekend we accomplished quite a bit. We removed all front suspension components, brakes and brake lines. Then out came the engine and transmission the way it went in....we lowered it out the bottom onto a dolly I built; this of course led to a factory five tradition pictured below. The next steps will be to strip out the interior and remove the remainder of the wiring harness from the body and behind the dashboard. So far it looks like we are on track to have the donor gone by the time the kit arrives.
