During the week after work I spent a little time cleaning off bolt heads with a brush and spraying some penetrating oil. I also loosened up all the bolts except brake lines, drive shaft bolts, and one of the steering nuts.
here is the end result of todays labor. To clean it up I rolled it out on paper and went over the whole thing with a gasket skraper, then sprayed simple green and used a plastic scrub brush and wiped it all down with a shop towel. finally a little por marine clean and a hose off. The paper caught most of the crud and made clean up pretty easy. for some reason you have to spell skraper with a k or it gets censored-----computers eh?

and the propane torch was money well spent for the project, I also would of been stuck without the pickle fork I think. Notice the wheels are chocked front and rear of the rear tires and double jack stands, the husky 3 ton set have weight on them and the back up stands are just about touching the frame. I like the base on the husky jack stands cause they dont dig into the floor!
On top is my Ebay rear bench--that was a find and a bargain! I'll re-cover it but it could actually work for a while it's not too bad unlike my up-front seating.
It's headed for the junk parts pile now!
