I spent the weekend bracing and cutting apart the convertible. Yesterday I built a cage in the cab to keep it from twisting and chopped most of the floor out. Today I removed the rear seat divider, B pillar braces (what a major pain that was), chopped out the rest of the floor, and cut the rockers out. I have some rust repair to do on the A pillars and the quarter window support panel in the back then I can fit the floor in. I might have that done next weekend. Once the floor is in, I can start cutting out the trunk, wheel houses, quarters, and deck filler panel.

Wow is right and looks pretty familiar. Seems like most 70 Chevelles we do especially the convertibles are in similar shape. Not for the faint of heart that is for sure. It is certainly better than junking the car.

A color combo rarely seen on a '70 vert.....I like it. Good luck to you.
