Hey everyone, I'm finally getting back in the mix again. My whole life has been "off topic" as Greg would say for the last year ++ or so. I took a year to study for a promotional exam at work, took the test and made lieutenant, spent 6 months catching up on the "honey-do" list for my dear understanding family and now it's time to finally do the rebuild on my Notch that I've always meant to do. Poking around recently, I've found alot of cancer under the fenders and in the pan, I guess I'll have to fudge some Ghia pans into place. Definitely need two heater channels, but some of the other areas are going to be one off fabrications (rear window tray, inner rear fender, etc.). I'll have stripped everything off in the next week or so, does anyone have a tried and/or true sequence for doing a rust-eration? Pulling it off the pan isn't really in the cards, although I'd like to. Is there a good way to go about this that anyone can recommend-side to side, front to back, top to bottom, easiest to hardest? I have an idea on how to replace the heater channels (what ever you do, don't open the doors with the channels off! or words to that effect) but beyond that, I'm open for suggestions.
