Removing ALL cladding...any TIPS?

[Ldub]

Keep an eye out for double stick tape that's hidden behind many a panel...

Be slow, methodical, & gentle with the ol' whore...keep in mind: she's nearly 93 in truck years...

I don't know the technical term, but it wouldn't hurt to stock up on some of those OEM Isuzu plastic (white) snap-n-tite thingies. I bought a bag from Merlin years ago AFTER I pulled my passenger-side quarter panel away to get in for rear bumper removal and managed to break one or two of them...easy to replace if you have them (I didn't @ the time).

My advice is to euthanize yourself IMMEDIATELY!

Jo,

I remember blujfan pulling the cladding off of the wrecked VX he bought to send over to OZ. IIRC the only pieces he had a problem with were the doors. Unfortunately, I was battling with removing the rear side glass so I didn't really see what was involved. I remember hearing some quite colorful language about all of the 2 sided tape but I think his biggest problem was one screw that he couldn't get out on the drivers door so he ended up just cutting that screw. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

BTW, if the collision shop ever finds them, I should have some extra cladding screws if you need them.
