Third Gen Restoration - Body

There's always one bolt that refuses to come out. In this case it was for the upper track bar. The bar had been cut out and only the end remained. Now I know why. This one had to come out the hard way.

The gas tank is dropped to paint behind it. The tank itself will also get painted.
