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.

YESSS! Congrats on successful demolition! Love the sit-on-the-engine pic: sure it's ridiculous but some traditions must not be allowed to die! The teaching opportunities seem endless...GO TEAM Homeschool Coupe. John P.
