Question 69 barn find

I just picked up a 69 Toronado with 56K miles and a great interior. The only damage is a LOT of surface rust. Nothing eaten through, but I want to remove all the trim to get at everything as I prep for paint. I haven't ever removed the trim on these before and do not want to mess anything up. I have already removed the windshield side and top trim since I knew about the clips, but what about the rest. Rear window, rocker panels, rear hood ect. Any help would be greatly welcome.

Also, any tips on removing the dash front so I can repaint the background.

Does this 69 Toronado have a OM transmission code?

Where?

Where do I look for the code? Would the VIN decode it? My mechanic told me that it had high output heads.

Great cars, I had 3 of them back in the 80s... just watch out for fuel leaks, they tend to get them and catch on fire!
