    I started the tear down of my 1973 yellow Dearborn maverick.
    I got the interior out Friday. Passenger side front looks good from the inside, driver side needs toe board and part of the front floor pan.
    Rear pans need some work in front of the rear seat both sides, and under the rear seat both sides.
    No build sheet not under the seat, under the carpet, or behind the side panels. (front or back) and nothing above the headliner.:cry:

    THAT'S where I left my screw driver and ratchet! :tiphat:
    Looks like it is all in fair shape... Just some de-rusting, prep and paint inside.

    This weekend I will try to pull the front and back glass, and the dash. Then maybe start on the front clip and engine/trans.

    The driver side toe board and driver side torque box are shot, and need to be replaced. The car has a bad cowl.

    I tend to do the hard stuff first. That's why I am not finished tho, so don't listen to me :(

    Looks about like what I just got finished repairing. Pretty much the same places and about the same amount of rust, you have one section on the drivers side that I didn't have to do (on the rear seat platform).. It took me about a month to do everything in my spare time ( couple hours here and there)..... now onto the QP's for me :)

    Looks like somebody chopped up a solid car. Might have been easier to fix that one with yours. :D
