Interior work is much harder than exterior work, that’s for sure. Getting the dash pad off the dash was a nightmare due to the terribly placed nuts holding it to the dash structure. I will be modifying that for sure when I install a new dash pad to make it both easier to install and remove. I know I can get my existing dash reskinned by Just Dashes, but if anyone knows of a place I can just buy a whole new dash pad, please let me know.
Contrary to my last post, the floorboard is in fact not good everywhere other than the drivers side. After vacuuming more/etc. I was able to find rust holes in pretty much every area, as you can see here:
This means I will be doing a total floor pan replacement, which is probably fine anyway as I will be doing some surgery to the tunnel to fit a 4L80E or similar behind the LS engine.
Otherwise, things are progressing nicely. I was able to get the rear seats removed and most of the under-dash items. A few more interior panels in the back area and the interior will be stripped.
