Day 12 Back to work!

So we finally made it back out to the garage to work on the car again. I am just getting anxious to get it done. Plus I figure we needed to take advantage of it being cooler in the garage and get as much done. Soon it will be very hot and stuffy in there.

Mike started out by taking off the trim around the door. Luckily the trim came off nice and easy and didn't get hurt. Apparently it is very expensive to replace.
Next he took out the back side windows and the side paneling. In the back passenger side we found a little green plastic ruler and also a folded up piece of paper. We are hoping it is the broadcast sheet from the factory. I made Mike leave it in the bathroom while he took a hot shower hoping the steam would help be able to unfold it. Mike is in there working on it right now.

Mike also took the side scoops out. I guess those have to be painted separate from the car.

Then Mike started taking apart the dash. This is when he first got started on it.

This is the after picture. He took out all the wiring and everything in the dash. We were able to save a middle pad in the dash which they don't reproduce. Lucky for me, that piece was still in very good shape. We also discovered the dash pad was maroon... not red. Good to know!
We got a decent bit done tonight. I am happy to be back to working on the car. Hopefully we can stick to it and get it done. I ordered a bunch of mustang parts catalogs and have been comparing prices on parts. I made a spread sheet and listed all the parts we need and the prices from different places. That way when we go to buy the parts... we will be sure we are getting the best deal possible. Plus I have been working on getting financing together to afford the rest of the restoration. So far things are looking pretty good.

Update: Mike just came out and said the paper is not the broadsheet. Not sure what exactly it is because it is too far gone to tell... but there was a flower design on it which you wouldn't find on a broadsheet. Oh well. It would have been neat to find that.
