RE: Restoration Sequence Question

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nico:
These are all great points. By all means do the body work first because you will typically find all kinds of surprises and
it takes hours and hours and hours!
I have a nice rotisserie you could borrow for this phase if you are interested...not too far away from you and I'm done wih that phase.
On the other hand, rotisserie may not be the best thing for a convertible body...I would ask the felllas here about that.
One small point also: be sure to note all body/fender/ top bracket shims as you take the thing apart. Take pics of them and label in a plastic bag
or whatever. Good luck, contact me off line if you are interested in the rotisserie. Donny, 64 Belvedere.
