Finally starting the 69 GTX

[69 meep meep]

Finally starting to work on the GTX I traded my 66 Chevelle 300 for. At the moment just removing the interior and a few other interesting items to see what lies in store for me. So the SRT8 seats are out so is the laminate flooring. Back seat was held in with wood screws through back into the sheet metal and on top on 2x4s screwed into the floor. Found expanding foam under the back window looks like the package tray (think that’s what it is called) is pretty rusted. Trying to do this all myself so guess I will get to learn welding and body work. This will be a slow process.

You and I are in the same boat, I just bought the Titanium easy flux welder from harbor freight and will have to learn to use it, as well as learning everything else as I go. The seats might have been screwed in, but at least you have seats.

Rear window is out. Glad the oldest was home so I could steal one of his guitar strings to get through all the sealer used on the window.

They weren't shy about the spray foam, why do people use that on vehicles.

I have no idea why they use it. Assuming here it was used because of the hole in that support structure instead of patching it.

I need to address the Dutchman and one bottom corner of my rear window area in my car, at least there's no spray foam in mine!

Yeah, but how's he going to play Smoke on the Water now??
