    It will be a big step getting it back in paint.  However, if you're like me, it will soon hit you that there's a mountain of work still left to do.  Take your time and break things down into subassemblies.  It won't seem like such a daunting task. :thumbsup:

    Once the assembly begins, that is where it really starts getting fun!  you can see progress every time you bolt something on!  then thre is that last 10% that seems to take almost as long as the entire project!  i am at the last 1%, whith just a few things left to attach.  your car is going to look great!

    95% DONE.

    All that's left is maybe 2 hours of touch ups. Then wet sand.
    Took it off the rolling cradle today and put back onto the rotisserie.

    All parts not to be painted were removed.

    First step by next week is paint the interior first. Then the underside.
    Next Saturday, when I post, there will be paint on the car!
