    It'll work out fine. :-D

    Make an El Camino Z with the parts car. Throw some plywood on there to make a bed and another piece of plywood with a window cut out behind the seats. LOL
    I've seen it done alot around Miami with all kind of cars and old vans.

    saw someone do that in tampa with a 97 cougar, removed rear seats and chopped the roof about a foot and made a truck out of it with a working tailgate.

    as for the OP, this should be interesting to watch, oh btw… how much for the "T-Bar" roof interior trim? :twisted:

    You mean the red trim around the inside of the t-tops?

    I cut through it when I cut the panel off. I have had no luck selling red interior parts so I very seldom save them.

    Well I cut out the passengers side today. I sold the motor which will be pulled by the buyer next weekend. A few hours work pulling the suspension and diff and it will be history.

    I been selling parts and building my car fund so I may have enough in a few weeks to repair both cars. I need to pull the damaged parts off the 2+2 so I can see what the lower A pillar damage looks like.

    87 Turbo 2+2 damage to repair. I might do this repair first. I'll soon have enough money to do both.

    Come on Tim! That would be fun as hell! Besides its not like you have any blind spots anymore, lol! It would be cool to drive backwards and watch how much the body flexes without all of its key structure. Hmmm. I do need to make a trip that way this weekend. Lol!
