This heater core thing is really irritating.…You can tell these cars were built when labor was around 5.00 an hour. We now have removed the inner fender and associated parts to get access to the blower fan motor which is up in the fender, have the core box loose but cannot pull it out because the fender is in the way. According to the manual, we need to remove the fender bolts and block it away from the body to gain clearance and I am not real comfortable with that since the fender is hanging about 5 feet out into thin air with the front end apart and I’m worried about damaging it. 
What the heck.…with the inner fenders out, we might as well just remove the fenders, it will make our job easier as we redo the suspension anyway. I ordered the suspension parts from Kanter in NJ and they are on their way along with a new center link.
What’s the deal with all of the insulation stuck to the inside of the fenders, can’t quite figure that one out and am going to have to do some research to figure out what it is for. 
One thing is for sure, the mice love it and were using it to make nests everywhere! Once the rocker panels were off, we found a pretty fair amount of rust on both the fenders on the lower end where they meet the bottom of the doors, this may be a problem as we go forward, but we will just have to worry about that when we get to it, I have enough problems to keep me busy for now. With the fenders off we were finally able to remove the core and will send it out.
