The Tear Down

Tearing a car down...what can I say it's a bit traumatic. I just had a car, now it's in pieces. It took about a day and a half to take the car apart. The body was completely disassembled. The engine, trans and axle remained sat off to the side. Everything was put into plastic zip lock bags and labeled so i could find them later (yeah right!) Working on the car sporadically once or twice a year pulling parts containers out of a storage shed, going through them, putting them back at the end of the visit just made a parts nightmare. But at this point I think I'm through the worst of it.



The fenders, running boards, gas tank etc. all went off to the stripper to be taken down to bare metal. They still are up in the attic waiting for paint and the final assembly ( perhaps in a year or so.)

In the end there wasn't much left that resembled a car anymore, just a bunch of parts laying all over the place...plastic totes filled with bag and bags of labeled parts. Nuts and Bolts. Electrical parts. Parts Parts and more Parts. Once the tear down was done everything from that point on was going forward.
