                  Edit: Whoops. Didn't mean to threadjack! Probably shouldve sent this in a pm. Ohwell

                      Do you plan on taking this thing all the way down to a almost complete disassembly? What are your plans for the body work?

                                  I like the progress!  Are you going to sandblast the whole body and all suspension bits?  Then get to the body work?

                                    And I thought it was a bit much when I manhandled an m52 head onto the engine in the car by myself.  Looks good.

                                          I like the progress! Are you going to sandblast the whole body and all suspension bits? Then get to the body work?

                                          I'm not sure how I'm going to clean it mint really want to sand blast very messy but I may. I am going to stainless shot blast parts I am keeping most suspension will be replaced
