Default AlaskaJeff's dissasembly & damage assesment pics!

Here a few so so quality cell phone pics of the first day of dissasembling my damaged clone. I did find out that the wheel is bent pretty bad and the core support was VERY rusted out on the driver's side from battery acid over many years. Bad enough that it was floating......... Good thing (if there is one) that it will be replaced. Also the end horn of the frame is also bent a bit (suprise). I'm going to take a REAL camera tomorrow to shoot some better shots and test out my newly built shop dollies!!

Feel a tear in my eye.
Looks like the windshield isnt cracked?

Try'n to get a guy near here to part a hacked up non #'s matching car thats been sit'n for years.
He's refused so far.
I need the LH fender and whl hse, and you need the RH side and hood.
Not sure how good the core support is. Has the whole front end and hood buried in parts, and wont let me touch it.
Wants to sell a $1000 parts car for $5000

I really hate attitudes like that!! When I lived in Georgia I found a parts car with a TREE growing thru the engine compartment and the guy would NOT sell any parts off it. He said to me that it's a CLASSIC and I'm going to restore it soon!!! DUDE, it has a stinkin' tree growing thru it........He, like your guy wouldn't budge....

MORE PICS TODAY, The dollies work GREAT! I got the driver's side fender, inner fender off and stripped whats left of the core support. It was pretty rusted under the battery!!
BTW Region Warrior The windshield was NOT cracked, nor did it crack during the wreck. It did however develop ONE crack from the final trip to my house from Canada AFTER it flew off the trailer....GO FIGURE!!
