Got some more goodies pulled off of Rusty Bucket, the 2106. I'm raiding the insides at this point, which goes with the rainy weekend in the forecast this weekend. Found two rats' nests (so far), and damn did those things stink. That was in and among the various nut shells. Things that happen when the floors rot out.

I had to pry the front doors open. They both were binding on the backs of the front fenders. What a pain - not for the faint of heart.

So, I'm guessing that salvaging all of the electric stuff, all of the gauges and lights and lenses would be a winning concept. It has the blue upholstery of which I'm a big fan, and the rear lazyback was covered and can donate a lovely sample for future matching. I'm guessing that saving the front seat trundle portion may wind up just being a waste of space, but it does seem to have all the brightwork still in place, as do the door panels. So I reckon I'll keep it.

Fred was there to supervise. She's good company.
