This afternoon, the forecast track looks a little bit better for us as the forecast track has shifted a little bit west of us. Locally, we won't have any potential for any of the effects of Irma for several more days. Technically, we are in a state of emergency here in NC since this morning due to the forecast track of Hurricane Irma. Today is a beautiful day with sunny skies, light breezes, and comfortable temperatures. With the splice fitting and that line running over the frame with some rubber padding, I suspect this might have been an old repair so I will have to do some research to see if that routing is correct. I can't imagine why the brake line to the right front brake runs over the frame instead of through a nearby hole in the frame. I did find one brake line that does not look correct. I took photos of all of the brake lines and fuel lines to document how the replacement lines will need to be routed. I applied more solvent to the fitting on the brake lines in preparation for their upcoming removal. I also removed the ignition lock from the steering column. I saw those three screws sticking up underneath the back seat but did not look to see what they were before removing the body, but it was certainly easy to remove it after the rest of the body had already been ripped away from it. I also removed the tail pipe hanger that I should have removed before removing the body from the chassis.
I won't be hitting my shins on them again any time soon. This morning, I took care of those pesky running board brackets. Even though I know they are there, and do my best to step around them, it is amazing how many times I have bumped and/or cut my shins on those brackets in the past few days. I do think that number one on the list is to remove the running board brackets from the chassis. I also need to spend some time putting together a plan of the best order to disassemble the chassis components and what to actually restore first. I have some non-car stuff to do tomorrow morning so I don't know how much time I will have to work on the car tomorrow. It will be pulled out again soon for pressure washing and blasting, but it is good to see it in the garage where I can work on it in the air conditioned space for now.

I then used a floor jack to manhandle the chassis into a sideways position in the rear of the garage so the daily driver can again fit into the garage.
If I was not so tired yesterday, I would have probably thought to do that, before putting the chassis inside the garage. I then applied solvent to all of the bolts and nuts that were easily accessible and to let it soak in a bit in preparation of their eventual removal. I removed the remains of the wiring harness to get that out of the way. I got the garage mostly cleaned up, although he needs to come back with his trailer for one large item that is still taking up space. I am just happy to have the space in the garage. Hopefully he will do well auctioning some of it off and can use the rest of it. I had a friend come over and pick up about a pickup truck load of stuff that was taking up space in the garage.
