Here are a few pictures of the disassembly process. This is the first chapter in"Restoring Your 1957 Chevy".

Take out four bolts, and the hood will come off. You only have to take out ten bolts to remove the entire front cap. (Can't you tell how excited Gus is about my project?) |

Here's a shot of the car without the front cap. It looks like a lot of progress for just removing a few bolts. |
OK, A lot of little things I did weren't photographed. I removed the rear seats and rear door panels sometime in the late '80s, but luckily I kept up with them. I removed the front seat before I brought the car to the storage lot. Next I removed the rear windows, front door panels, front windows, and miscellaneous dash and door pieces.

This was a busy day. Stan and I removed the doors, trunk lid, rear bumper, and back glass. All of this stuff goes into my back yard, storage shed, or house to my wife's dismay. |

Here I am trying to look busy. It was a chore removing the windshield stainless to get the windshield out, but we finally got it. It looks like we're ready to pull the engine. |
