Looks like y'all picked her as clean as you could. But might should've grabbed to rear side windows, hate seeing the glass on any of these getting destroyed.
I did pull them.  The photo was taken before.  The photo of the forklift removing the car from the trailer has the fork going through the window hole.  I am bumbed that I did not save the pedal assembly.  I got over to my friends shop where the other car and chassis are, and it appears that the pedal assembly is missing (I bought the car that way).  I now need one for the car to be drivable...Rich

Good to hear that you grabbed the glass. Sucks that you needed the pedal assembly though. Probably not a chance that it hasn't already been crushed huh?

The power of accurate observation is commonly called Cynicism by those who have not got it.
I am not now at my least, rather my most; not reduced, rather at my most complete.
Yes, I stand before you now, naked, unhidden, uncamouflaged and unafraid.
As pure and true as a human being is able to be.

Wouldn't you know it, I forgot to remove the brake pedal from the car.  I realized after the body got scrapped, that I needed the brake pedal for the other Eagle that is being sold (SX4 with new paint).  I posted the need on another thread, and Dave (vangremlin) was kind enough to get one at a local yard and send it to me.  It did cost me $40 for the part, labor, and postage, but that is fair.  I just can't believe how dumb I am to forget the pedal!  I only got $56 for the old SX4 carcass, and had to spend $40 of that just for the pedal!.   Please don't misunderstand me, I am not upset at anyone but myself.  I am very thankful for Dave's efforts to get me the pedal before the car was to be shipped.  I got the pedal in the mail today, and also the payment for the car.  The car should be picked up within the next couple of days.....Rich
