It is fun taking a car down when you down't ever have to remember where anything goes, just bzzzzzzzzzzzzzppp, throw the bolt in a bucket.
sawzall, prybar and sledge hammer ... you are gonna have to keep moving for the 1 month drivable though.

All interior from the back of the trunk up to the front seat is out including sill trim been dodgeing raindrops and lightning so front seat may have to wait till tomorrow . Once the rest of the interior is out I can pull the wire harness up to the dash and start cutting

Re: Yes another Crownvic/Uni 88 and 62
Lance I will list the interior and unbolted parts on craigslist for a short while . Everything that gets cut off will be loaded on one of several trailers and delivered to the nearest scrap yard for proper disposal
. I will give the craigslist adds maybe 2 weeks then the leftovers start going to dumpsters at some of my supply houses to be disposed of as I dont need all the extra stuff hanging around here .

Re: Yes another Crownvic/Uni 88 and 62
I will admit though I did take an extra long look at the rear seat today and wondered to myself how well it would work out if I built it into the interior of the truck . Since I will be the only one driving the truck being able to adjust the seat forwards and back isnt a big deal to me so I may look at it a bit more as it is like new and does have a nice fold down armrest built in

Re: Yes another Crownvic/Uni 88 and 62
one thing to keep in mind, is now you will have no gas tank inside the cab.
I made some new seat supports and was able to lean my stock seat way back, it gets pretty comfy with a bit more lean in it.. you almost can't reach the pedals

Rick, That seat looks pretty comfy. If you don't use it in the truck, you can keep it for a garage seat.

Re: Yes another Crownvic/Uni 88 and 62
Kevin it actually is pretty comfy and like the rest of the interior in the car it is mint
. The spot you see on the side of the seat bottom is just dust from setting it on end in the garage when I first pulled it out . I dont think its going to work out in the truck but I do like your idea of a bench in the garage a little steel framing for it to set into and it might be great for a comfy place to chill and watch the TV out here
