Caprice Disassembly

Not sure where this should go as it is not a repair per se.

Thinking about starting this weekend as it is a holiday. Kind of last minute, but oh well. I had started a spreadsheet of parts to recover or dispose of, which I will attach for discussion.

The fuel lines can be shortened/repaired using the 'fuel line repair kit' from Autozone. Very simple.

I'm definitely interested in the window motors.

The rear axle may be too big to save if we don't have a planned use for it. Unless it fits behind the shelves..

Redneck discharge may be tough in the winter for the AC! Hopefully it's all leaked out already...

If you can move the gauge cluster over, you save some hassle... other gauges can be added as needed in a pod or something.

Seat belt pretensioners!! I'll take 'em, for sure! I even like the color.

I'd grab the hinges and toss the doors into the car for the ride to the scrappers.

Tail lights and stereo might be good ebay items... recoup money for your swap.

I might be interested in the x-pipe and race pro mufflers.

I would be concerned about a foam fuel tank baffle dissolving in the gasoline... though it may make an interesting fuel additive?

The grille would also make a nice Ebay piece.

Can the garage camera do video? Maybe we can do an intro video for the Monte project...

The grill is broken.

More specifically, one of the attachment ears is snapped. I guess I could plasti-fix it.

The axle could be stored outside.

I would at least want to grab the brake components from it for a 4-wheel disc conversion on something.

Yes. I need to find the other battery and the charger.
