Haven't figured out how to un buckle the shell, but the next step will be to bust off the frame bushing bolts. Probably shim it up best as possible. Only the center hump of the floor is salvageable but I have enough left to template repair panels. There was a spray coating on the interior which comes off pretty easy with a putty knife. There were only two noticable dents (other than the roof) and I dollies those out nicely. One thing I'm really surprised at is how thin the metal is. I thought the older cars were heavier guage, but maybe not on the war - era vehicles. I did find a neat ice scraper, with a naked lady pictured on it..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I've been checking in and figured the site had died forever. I checked today and bam it's back on. Awesome. I don't contribute much here, I just come to read and enjoy hotrod builds and good company...
