well i had some fun takin out the interior took me a few hours cuz the seat brackets we made dont leave much wrenching room. now that the insides out we need to remove the dash which i think we'll get out later this week. after thats out our friend the welder is gonna get at the cage. i measured it all out befor i took it all out so hopefully we start wit the cage this weekend. here's a few pics. o i found like 20 bucks lol

the dash was a pain in the ***. a few hidden screws & fasteners, but it can be done in one night. looks like you are on track with the pics, it helps with the re-assembly. good luck with the build.
