[12/29/01] - Nudie Pics! (get yer mind out of the sewer). I have removed the inside trim pieces of the car (preparing to removed body to restore the rolling chassis and repaint the car). It looks like somebody bungled the driver-side door; and it looks like a stereo was meant to be an option (look at the cutouts).
Next step is to removed the seat belts, steering, dash, etc...
