I'm doing a full-on, frame-up, body-off, nut and bolt restoration on a
Spitfire (as if any of you *don't* know...) and may be able to help
anyone planning such an endeavour.  I'm reassembling the body and doing
paint prep, for pictures http://www.jacksonville.net/~suchak/project.htm

I've sort of skimmed over the messages in this thread...  Is there an
effort underway to assemble a process diagram or checklist of some sort?

Thanks, (Sorry for not paying closer attention)
