cool. ive pretty much done the same thing with my car, but ive been driving it while doing it. i would love to pull it right down to a bare shell, have it acid dipped, fix any trouble spots, have it painted as a shell, ect.

one thing though, our cars cant have a frame off restoration. physicaly, it is impossible to remove the frame from a unibody vehicle.
