So I did some more on the Dodge (gonna hafta name 'er) today.
Took some pics of the destruction.
Wanna see em?
Here i go.




This is the Un-Work Bench at the front of my Garage. It is the catch-all for anything you don't want to see in the Kitchen.





So I cleaned off my bench to hold pieces of the Dodge (recently named "Torch" courtesy of My Grandson, Branden)
Some of those pieces are already taking up space on the bench.



This is my heater, it was a little chilly today,high temp 45*f.


Removed enough components to get a good look at the Timing Belt.
It appears to be a recent addition to the car . I will re-use it.



Mark the belt so you know which direction it was turning. The books say to make a mark in the direction of engine rotation, but it has always been easier for me to point at the front of the car.(which btw happens to be rotational on this car.)



Allrighty then,
Lots removed, lots more to go.
so far;
A/C gone, (it was already emptied at Ralphs)
Coolant gone, (in a sealed container for waste disposal)
Oil gone, (different sealed container)
Timing cover gone,(upper half anyway)
Alternator gone, (next time disconnect the battery first,DUH)
Battery disconnected,
Spark plugs and distributer cap and rotor gone,(i know where they are)
Some, not all, coolant hoses gone
GREAT BIG pan under car for drips,and
even bigger piece of cardboard under drip pan, (just in case)
many vacuum hoses and electrical connections disconnected.
fuel lines disconnected(open tank to prevent expanding fuel from dripping out the ends), breather removed & some little stuff i can't remember.
Back to work tomorrow am
lessee if we can't get this thing torn down by noon.
