Greets !

I have the old girl disassembled to a bare body on the frame with the 
exposed coachwork stripped and primed.

Now I ponder doing a frame-off to catch the crud I know is down there.

My biggest question is how best to pull this off?  As I look at the 
coachwork, it ocurrs to me that I could build a cushioned coutoured plywood 
support structure that went under the dash and another one that went under 
the strip of body over the gas tank, connect them with a couple of struts 
and pull straight up.

Other options is to build a "spit" and let it turn, or sacrifice a set of 4 
bolt wheels from the junkyard and build a pivot to roll it up on its side.

Comments welcome.
