Phil,
Many of us really enjoy the work of CLC restorers' efforts.  Knowing that it's extra work to post progress, I feel it's important for those of us who are "looking over your shoulder" to encourage you to share not only details of your progress, but also any historical information regarding your car's long existence and how it was able survive.  Thank you for posting.  James

Phil,

Oh these pics take me back, love to do the work myself.

You didn't say what your experience level was, so no offence.

take many many pics from many angles as you take anything apart.
Bag all the parts together including the mounting hardware.
Save every mounting clip you can - broken or not, they are hens teeth - unobtainium some times.

Good luck and post often.

Have fun,
Steve B.
