No pictures from today's progress, but i was able to get the plastic dash cover out, and the exhaust and fuel tank off. The gauge on the fuel tank read empty, so I assumed it was correct. However it was clear full, so it was much heavier than I anticipated.
I also broke off my turn signal stalk taking off the plastic dash surround, but in case anyone does the same it is part number D6254E and available on Amazon.
Tomorrow I will move the Cobalt off the lift, and get ready to pull the suspension.
