So, let's see where we are right about now. The body is pretty much
stripped completely down. I need to order the fenders and decide if I want
to replace the front clip and lid. The car was in an accident in which it
got it's nose bent but it's been straightened since then. My thinking here
is that if I want to show this car I may not want any visible wrinkles
on the body. I also might just have it straightened out a little bit more.
All of the glass is out, with the exception of that which remains in
the doors. This is the next bit to get removed. The door lever arms
will be removed as I plan on putting in suicide doors with solenoids
for opening the doors. The switches will probably be in the dash instead
of on the door. This will be combined with a keyless entry system. The
door glass will also be electric with the controls on the dash, or on
a console underneath.
I'm going to replace the pans as well. They aren't in too bad of a shape,
but the battery leaked out, and through, the right pan. The body is coming
off for painting anyway, so I figured why not do the pans at the same
time. I haven't decided on seats yet and the originals won't work after
it gets chopped. I'm just about 6 feet tall so they'll have to have to be
pretty low in the bucket. I don't want to feel like I'm driving a Fiero.
