I'm looking at getting the body off the frame of my '69 442 convertible in order to blast and paint or coat the frame. I don't have a heck of a lot of space in my garage and I am not currently planning on doing the blasting/coating myself. I was thinking(hoping?) I could save some money by doing the disassembly of the car myself and then having it trailered/towed to a shop to do the work.

Has anyone taken this approach? Does anyone have some feedback on how far I should go with disassembly?

I don't have an huge budget in the short term, but I'm willing to spend some money to do it right. Since body work is likely the next step, does it make sense to put the body back on in its current shape, or just have someone take care of that as well at the same time?

I'd be curious to hear some thoughts and theories here.

Tim
