Well, I finished stripping my parts Spitfire - quite a fun project, and 
thanks to everyone who contributed advice about how to get things apart. I 
ended up not bothering to take the tub off the chassis. I was surprised 
given the horribly rusty state of things that everything came apart quite 
easily. I did use copious amounts of PB Blaster. I didn't break a single 
bolt off.

Now my question, what should I do to store the 1500 engine? It is in a 
heated garage, and I plan to make a little "cradle" on casters so it can be 
easily moved around, but what else should I do?

Freddy the Spit and a lot of extra parts!
