Undressing Bessie Part 1


Hello again.

Now we have finally begun the disassembly of Bessie. First thing we did was lifting her on jack stands and took off her wheels.

What came off first were the larger pieces of the body. Trunk lid, hood, doors, front fenders etc. There were no major issues in this part of the disassembly. Obviously, Bessie being almost 60 years old, some of the bolts had to be cut with an angle grinder and some were sheared when opened, but nothing too bad.

We also found a small beehive in the driver side door, no bees in it though.
