Rear end work (Day 3)

We managed to make it out to the garage last night and work on the car again. I was already exhausted from a full day of work. I spent all morning taking down the Halloween decorations. We then spent all afternoon bagging up the leaf pile in the back yard.

Mike headed out to the garage ahead of me. I told him I would join him in a half hour but got a bit busy on the computer and didn't make it out there until about an hour later. In that time he was able to get the headlights and grill off the front of the car.

We then decided it was time to start taking things apart on the back end of the car. I took off one of the tail lights while he took the other one out. Then I got the fun task of taking the lettering off of the car. I was good until I got to the side of the car and ended up breaking two letters and the horse decal. I got frustrated and told Mike he would have to take out the rest of them. I am annoyed that I broke them because I wanted to keep as much original stuff on the car as possible. Looks like we will have to replace a few letters though.

Next we went to work on taking out the back window. I unscrewed the trim and then let Mike remove it since the trim is very expensive to buy. He was able to get the trim off the window without too many problems. Once that was off... I went to town scrapping out the goop that holds the window into place. Soon we were able to take the window out. We will be keeping the window because it is still in really good shape.
