With everyone talking about tearing the body apart to do the bodywork I'm wondering if it is possible to do it section by section. Can I do the front fenders, take them off, get the bodywork done and prime, put back and then say do the rear fenders, bed and then cab at the end? I'm afraid of having it all apart and then running out of money for the finish and have it sitting in the garage for too long. Is this an absurd idea? Thanks

This is a good way to do it for some, myself included with the shop truck. Pro's are the truck is kept running and not a abandoned project. Cons you might miss a few spots , you will wind up doing some taskes several times over, like removing and reinstalling sheet metal. (Good practice for the final assembley) If you sell before it is totaly completed it will be worth far more as a complete running truck than apart.
If you have the space, money and time (more money reqires less time on your part) Strip it to the frame and just do it. If you lack time money or space. alittle at a time, keep it running is a good approach.
