Quote: How far will this car be taken apart? How far will you go when dismantling it?
At this point we are planning on taking most of the car apart. All glass will be removed, stainless trim buffed to look new, engine and drive train taken out as well as the complete front and rear suspension. The body panels (doors-fenders-trunk deck-hood) will not be removed. The doors work perfectly and I would not want to upset how well they operate. We should be able to match the jambs and engine compartment when the outside is shot with one coat of paint. We are still trying to figure out if any other panels might not need to be re-sprayed in the process. As stated at the beginning of this thread, the project will involve a tremendous amount of craftsmanship with regards to having seamless blends with the existing paint. All the undercoat will also be preserved and tinted to look like the day it was applied. The natural metal components will also have to be resurfaced to look like new again.
