Well now, it's slow going with all the rusted hardware, but I've managed. Got the inner pocket door panels removed to expose the upper sliding door rails. Still have lots to do before removing the roof and side panels. This thing is a tank... the roof is bolted to the sides, front and rear headers with 5/16 bolts every 8-10 inches apart... I may lose count taking them all off. Also, going to need to remove the inner roof panels before I can even THINK about removing the first bolt holding the roof on.
