Ed,

I too took mine down to the frame. If I had to do it again, I would probably have not done it this way. It has been 363 days since I last drove my stovebolt. It is turning out nice, but I am spending a fortune on putting it back together and the body work still won't be any where near perfect.

I compared my project to building a house. If the foundation was done, I could always go back and remodel the top. But just like a house, I can't have much fun with the rest since the foundation is all torn up.

My message may change by spring, but if I had to do it over again, I would have worked on the truck while it was in one piece and still been able to drive it around once in awhile....
