:biggrin:
Sorry just messing with you. But seriously, your questions is too open ended. What are you prepping for? Painting, race strip interior, something else?

Are you leaving it stripped or putting the panels back? That was the nice thing about pulling my interior cause pretty much none of it is going back in. lol

I'm planning to do a bed liner material to make it all uniform and one color. I like the race car look and feel. I already started on the trunk and just having it all one color makes it look really clean. Also cleaned up the wiring harness/loom. Only thing I did notice was the roof inside shows a lot of the dings and dents that i didn't remove just bondo'd externally. But hey I should never be looking at the roof really.

be really gentle with the dash pieces. they get very brittle over time and they tend to snap when removing.... and trust me they are getting harder and more expensive to replace...
