Looks great Ken. There is no way you could have a lazy streak after seeing that in paint. I bet it will be reassembled in no time. What are you doing with the frame?

The Bottom of the car needs to be touched up from the overspray etc , the front suspension will be dis-assembled, wire brushed, cleaned, painted, and detailed.......Charley was right, it would have been easier to take the body off.........But, I didn't have the room nor am I smart enough to do things the easy way.......maybe next time around......

Taking the body off that car would be a walk in the park (2 hours tops) and does not require a lot of room. A 9' ceiling would be enough along with some 55 gallon drums. I wish I were closer I would give you a hand as it would be great to see it completely restored and for a very inexpensive cost of parts.

I guess I could at least consider that for the winters. Do they allow horses?
