Thank you Jerry. I remembered your words as I was working today.

Steve, go to the TP Tools website and you can get all the professional information on the paint system. I will give my amatuer experience when I paint a little more. The one I bought is this... Showtime 90 HVLP Turbine Unit with ProLine Paint Spray Guns - TP Tools & Equipment

Big update for today. I have the body off the chassis!!! It wasn't too hard at all, after Roger's awesome advice of using locking straps. When I use these, I set them so my hook from the hoist was very low to the roof, and it would start lifting right away. Here's some pictures to show how I did. I'm so happy tonight. Thank you Roger!!!

The Coupe spins around nice on those moving dollies!





A quick hello from me with the timer function on the camera.









If anyone has a New Age Motorsports Coupe, here's the locations I put my straps.









I had to remove the rear wheels and set the drums and rear shock bottom mounts on moving dollies to clear the body. I had to strap it down because it started to move when I pushed it forward.











After all that, I finally cooked a rib eye steak that I've been marinating for 4 days. It was so tender and delicious!



I'm taking everything off now.



Garage looks great with everything back inside now. The neighbors loved this thing and kept coming over asking about it.





I can't wait until I start taking everything off the chassis to sandblast and paint. Great week for vacation I have to cut my lawn tomorrow and clean my gutters.
