Near-Term Plans:
Finish gutting the car's interior - ignition switch; wiper assembly; driver's side carpeting and seat; top. Then I'll move on to the door panels and take everything out of the doors (I'm assuming that the vent windows are taken out at this time as well). Lastly, the windshield will come out. After this, the only detachable items on the car's exterior/interior should just be the hood and trunk hinges - I thought I'd leave these till after transport so that the engine and trunk areas ar protected during the trailer ride to Berkeley. I almost forgot, the old wiring harness will also get pulled out.
At this point, the car will still have its engine/transmission, driveline, axle, suspension/wheels, and gas tank in place. These I intend to have my mechanic pull out/off of the car in Berkeley (Glenn Oliveria at Oliveria Engineering). The engine may need a rebuild. I plan to get the gas tank checked for rust and cleaned as well. The suspension pieces and wheels will get powder-coated, as will all sorts of components in the engine compartment.
