It's a slow process. But, it's working. Picked up a new air compressor and that is helping a lot with the air tools. They have already saved me loads of time.
As always, any suggestions, comments, tips or tricks are definitely appreciated.

Front fenders
Did a little bit more work and got the front fenders off. It's starting to look awfully "naked"

Interior is out
Took some time to get the interior out of the car. I don't know a lot about how this was assembled. But, I took quite a few pictures as I went along the way. Luckily I didn't drop the phone and break anything.
This is a slow and tedious process. I can already feel it paying off though.
As for the interior, I fully plan on keeping the original bench seats as I like the idea of driving to our local drive-in theater and watching a movie with the kids and my wife. I will update some things throughout such as the radio (going classic look likely from Crutchfield.com http://www.crutchfield.com/shopsearch/classic_car_radio.html).
Aside from that, it'll look custom and clean. I'm not a fan of over the top gaudy colors so I will likely have some accents. But, nothing over the top.

Let's get after it...
Snapped two bolts from under the car to get the front seat out.
Another look
Back seat is a little dusty
Almost all of that brown is just dirt. Luckily close to no rust. Floor is very solid.
There's a lot of crap in the trunk. Found the broadcast sheet under the backseat.
After I figured out the windshield needed to be removed to get the dash out, that made things easier.
Getting the wiring ready for removal.

Big O's 1969 Roadrunner
This is to help with the restoration costs of my father's 1969 Roadrunner. His nickname was "Big O." This was left in his will and was kept in outside storage for just over a decade.
I'd love for nothing more than to finally restore and get this back into great shape. Hopefully you can help with the costs as much as possible. I will be doing as much as I can on my own and when necessary, go to a body shop or mechanic to get professional work done.
My final goal is to let my son and daughter, ages 4 and 6 respectively, drive this to their prom or graduation as my father wasn't there to see mine.
Even a dollar helps. I appreciate it.
