What grill do you have and how did you get the honey comb in it?
it's an auto exe with lower grill cut to fit. any one else interested in this part combination? I can prob fab a mold with insert if theres enough interest...

Glad your starting to work on the spicy again. Looking great so far. Can't wait to see what else you got in store..

so i made a little more progress. got the air, whippers, side skirts off.
getting rid of this mass is going to help with air flow.
i bled the line at this point which seemed like an easy enough of a task.
lots of ac lines running around the bay. going to be a lot cleaner without.
more lines
and the worst of the lines. i went out and bought some quick disconnects. not so quick. turned out the flange or what ever you call it that wraps around the seals and spring was corroded. a little brake cleaner made this a whole hell of a lot easier. simply sprayed and twisted till it spun free. i then used the plastic quick disconnect to pop the spring and the line pulled right out. by far the most aggravating part of removing the AC. the quick disconnect cost $2.50 from a local parts shop and came as a kit with different size rings. I suppose I could have cut the line but I didn't want to ruin it for some reason.
on to the whippers - since i am going to paint the bay i figured it would be best remove all the wiper components starting with the whippers and whatever you call the trim piece that covers up the arms.
trim piece - gone
motor for the whippers
motor for the whippers - gone
fluid reservoir
fluid reservoir - gone
side skirt removal
side skirts - gone
beer - gone
next up i pull the DP and turbo set up so i can get closer to pulling the motor.

Curious why you are supporting where you are with the jack stands and not on the rail?
