So Johnny (I think he finally has an ecomodder account - xfispy?) borrowed my truck (to go move a friend's Mondial or something like that) and left Honus at my house. "I'm going to peel absolutely everything on that car, first chance I get," he's been saying since we got it. Not being one to disappoint a friend, I recruited a Helper, age 4, and got to work.
The previous owner left me a veritable treasure of stuff in the spare tire compartment -- pens, broken CDs, a bald tire on the original rim that was missing. I felt like I was in that scene from Jaws where they're going through the shark's stomach -- the only thing missing was the blonde. Anyway, we filled a 5gal bucket with stuff.
A previous owner had screwed in (!) some 1in rigid styrofoam insulation at the rear RH quarter panel -- see pic. An experiment in sound deadening? Or just a place to store 4 or 5 chunks of styrofoam?
Still, my favorite touch was the vise grip standing in as the driver's window crank. Hey, free vise grip.
