Slowly getting it apart. Hopefully within 3 to 4 weeks we can actually have everything off the car and start preparing to repair the body.

Just pulled seat belts and back seat. Found this, not bad shape.

Always nice to have.
Just make sure it's actually for your car.
Seems to have been common for the line workers to grab a seat that matched their copy of the build sheet, and not care if the sheet inside the seat matched, IE it could be for a different car with the same interior.

I've had three like that.
Talk about an emotional roller coaster.
My 73 had a non-matching sheet under the rear seat.
Fortunately, it also had a second set of sheets under the front seat.
One of those was correct for the car and there were some bonus sheets that no one seems able to explain.
The biggest kicker is that on those sheets, they are stamped with my birthday, which also jives with the SPD and the block casting date. Making for very strong evidence that my car and I share a birthday!

I pulled the bottom of the backseat out yesterday found a paper, numbers did not match. Today I finished pulling out the backseat top half and found another piece of paper in great shape and the numbers match the car!

Thank you, we have the car just about down to the shell. Looking forward to actually getting to the repairing stage. Need to do some work on the garage so we can work in it this winter.

Ok found some time today to get a bit more done. Nov. 16th and 65 degrees, great day to be in the garage. Finnish pulling the dash out today.
Some rust both sides of the front floor, have to replace completely.
Fire wall is pretty sound, very small amount of rust near the high/low beam switch.
The rust in the back seat area seams to only be around the wheel wells. Will dig around just to be sure but not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Passenger rear not bad. Mostly inner wheel well.
Driver side rear will need extensive work in the bottom corner.
