Posted Yesterday at 07:10 PM by hessehesse
Removing the stabilizers was tough..the screws were rusts. Took quite a bit of teeth gritting to get them off....

Going Back Under to Belly to Last Big Pan

Posted Yesterday at 07:05 PM by hessehesse
To get some fresh air, I decided to go back under and get the last belly pan. First, let's geek out and take a look at all of these corroding rivets...woo hoo! Some of them had washers on them...was that original? ...hmmm...wonder what's underneath...can't wait to see!

How do you get the door frame thing off to get to the rivets???!!

Posted Yesterday at 06:56 PM by hessehesse
Okay - I can't figure this one out. The panels go behind the metal door "frame" that looks like it should pop out. I show here where I cut around the door (yes, I was frustrated!) because the rivets for the panel are behind that frame. The other picture (not that great) shows the smaller rivets that I eventually took out - still no luck. Ideas?

It's all down hill from here...(famous last words)... pretty quick to remove. Luckily I didn't find any leaks, wet spots, or mold...

Layers lead me to the top layer...for removal

Posted Yesterday at 06:48 PM by hessehesse
So, with all of these layers - the 1 foot overlap required me to go to the top layer first and remove from there. This is no whimpy vinyl clad aluminum. It was very stiff!
