    wrecker in my garage.
    Front end on floor jack, due to frozen
    brakes. I'm guiding the HC into its
    teardown location in the garage.

    decide where to start.













5. And  6.
    Removing rotted shag carpeting
    from dash. Notice basketball
    proping door open.




























7. View of '74 Pontiac Ventura
     Instruament panel and steering
     column. Note how far panel and
     steering column extend back into
     opening also note that the original
     "HJ" instrument panel openings
     have been Bondo-ed in.








8.  Hood being removed after freeing
     up frozen hood hinges. I learned
     what a good finger trap "HJ" hood
     hinges are after they are working
     properly and do not have a hood
     attached.
