Well, i got all of the core out. There was only a couple good spots that weren't much bigger than a square foot so it I went ahead and removed it. They were right under the dash area at the top edges. The rest was completely rotton all the way to the nose. Super easy to remove! I bought an oscilating tool to aid in the process and it has paid for itself ten times over already. A must have if doing a recore.

I still plan to start a build thread. I just need to take ths time to sit down and do it. Lots of pics already.

Man, what's the deal with your avatar? Every time I read one of your posts, I feel like I get partially hypnotized. :mrgreen:

So, rotten wood, glass, bedliner and then more glass? Wow, that would suck! I'm glad mine is all done. I'm just waiting on QuarterHorse to get back into his so I can help.
