Thats how I`m restoring my two panel trucks. Everything gone thru..everything. Mechanically ,electrical, frame, brakes, springs..etc. But the paint is just that. Paint to protect the metal. I cannot drive my truck(s) without fear of gravel or pebble bouncing off something. Parking lot ding. There no way I could get all into the paint and feel good about driving it anywhere. So when I sell one of my trucks, someone will have a fine running machine that will last a long time. Like new. Serviceable when needed. But serviceable as anything should be. They can paint it gloss if they want.
