Getting the Bird Ready!

(for new paint)

February 2001


This is just the beginning! Note all the trim sitting on top of the car.

There is concrete in every nook and crany on this car! Previous owner worked at a Concrete Plant. Please, for the sake of humanity, don't do this to your car!

I had to replace the power antenna, so I had to pull the right front fender. There was actually nothing wrong with the antenna, rather it was in the wiring (didn't know that until I got it out and tested it). But I cut the lead (coaxial cable), so I'm just going to replace it.

I need to replace the back window. There are alot of scratches on it. It's going to have to wait until summer when it will be much easier to pull one at a junkyard (due to the heat of the sun).

I loaded it up to take home. It's hard to imagine how much trim there is on a car like this. The trunk has trim laying in it, the interior of the car has trim in it, and the bed of the truck has trim laying all over it!
