Progress has been slow but still making it. I got the exhaust hose in and setup.

A family event put me in the general area of the legendary Mischief. So it was decided we should perform a structural test on a corroded plyon. After 2 dead batteries and some hand sawing, we separated the 2 parts. I'm happy to report that even with corrosion on the plyon it is structurally sound. I wish I could have stayed longer but we had to high tail it back to Texas.

There are some slight differences between the assembly of my '81 and the '83 beast but nothing a hammer and an angle grinder couldn't fix. I also took the angle grinder to the original assembly to see what lies beneath. I've read that ammonia will dissolve rust so I'm going to try that to see if I can get the pylon free.
