[omodified]

I was able to get some things done yesterday but I didn't have enough time to post an update. So, here goes....

Removed battery tray. This was an aftermarket part that I dropped in many years ago. It still looks brand new.






Removed alternator brackets and alternator. This will get sold with the engine.






Removed antenna and cowl. I was also suppose to remove the wiper arms during these steps, but I already did that a few months back. I thought if I removed something easy, it would motivate me to get started on the rest. Well, I didn't pick the easiest thing to do. I remembered that I bought a tool a long time ago to remove the wipers. I still couldn't remember how to do it. Found the answers I needed right here on this board of course! After a few tries, they popped right off.






Got the driver's side fender off. No rust in the bottom cup. Amazing!






Removed junction block on passenger fender.




Removed passenger fender. This was a great stopping point. You can see the original blue, but not for long.
