Thanks for all the replies and good advice. The only work we have actually done is to remove the seats, carpeting and old insulation. There are so many things to consider so as it stands right now, we are just developing a plan. A lot of time is spent just looking at the car and visualizing the things that need to occur. We don't want to start just for the sake of starting only to discover that we have messed up the car. Thanks to you guys here we have already dodged a couple of bullets.I will try to identify the major tasks and then from there we will break it down into smaller tasks. That way we should be able to keep better track of the processes that need to occur. Before we actually start I would like to have your opinions about our agenda and your input about whether we are doing things in the right order. The advice regarding replacement of the wood with steel is the way we are going to go. The body is in very good shape and is very stable on the frame right now. Considering this, should we replace the wood with steel before removing the body from the frame so that it will retain its shape? I know we need to start at the beginning, just trying to figure out where that is.

Thanks,
