[T3] Fasty Update



Well, I got quite abit accomplished today on the Fasty.  It was a beautiful 
day.....bright sunshine and nearly 70 degrees.  I was able to successfully 
remove the quarter window and rear window glass and save the seals.  I simply 
used a metal spoon to push the seal lip over the metal edge and the windows 
popped out.  I decided to leave the windshield in for now.  I removed the 
doors and hang them up on the wall.  Still have to strip them for painting 
and the one-piece power windows.

I also got all of the connections between the body and the pan apart.  Now I 
just need to sucker a few friends into coming over to lift it off of the pan. 
 Right now a plan to build a simple wooden support for it.  I plan to flip it 
upside down since most of the repair work is on the bottom of the body.  I 
will support it on the hood mating surface and on the bottom (top when upside 
down) edge of the quarter windows.  I will post some pictures when I get that 
far.

Later,
