I am deciding if I want to go this route myself. It's only a '77 , I have no birdcage rust and only surface rust on the undercarriage, but knowing that everything is done would give me that better "peace of mind" feeling.
It would also allow better access to the suspension and motor for repair....talk me out of it!
Ah, go ahead. It is rewarding. Check out this thread I started a couple of days ago. It might give you food for thought.
I'm not 'taking issue'....just curious. Why did you not have the body painted before you set it on the chassis? Isn't the painting going to just mess up all the work you did on the chassis?
In any event, congrats!! That is a big part of the work now completed.
I weighed the risk of damage to the new paint vs. extensive masking when time to paint. I'll be masking.

I heard these same comments and sure wish I heeded them.
