The next thing up was removing the front windshield so I could do the upper metalwork on the frame and besides that, the windshield was already cracked in a few places and needed to come out for paint and replacement. After a few minutes of cutting loose the inner rubber seal and a plastic wedge, I have the windshield was out. There was a bunch of debris under the rubber lying in the channel and my first thought was I had a rotted window frame. After cleaning up the area with a wire wheel on a drill, I was surprised to find that the frame was in good shape. However, there were a few spots where someone used liquid nails to possibly seal a leak or two. That was a new one for me.

So after that, I had good access to start some sanding on the interior that had been rattle-canned black with a mix of dog hair, dirt particles, and also throw in a few bugs here and there. This Cheyenne Super deserves more than that, so we march on and get this ready for a fresh coat of medium blue. I can't say I am fond of sanding down an interior. It has awkward shapes and surfaces, hard to sand over your head like the ceiling area and did I say awkward? Also got the steering column removed so it will be easier to shoot the paint and besides it is getting a fresh factory automatic tilt column installed.

After I get the interior finished sanding down and a little more metalwork we should be heading in the other direction and getting ready to finish up and bodywork and get ready for paint. I am shooting to have that ready in the next week or so.
