Absoblankinglutely. This one's going in my quote file.
I took lots of pix of my Europa chassis after the gang lifted the body off
but before I started pulling parts off of it. Smartest idea ever. As the
thing was going back together, I was always looking through this pile of
pictures in the garage. Felt pretty smug about my foresight.

Another little lesson I learned, especially applicable to
bare-to-the-bones type restorations, is don't go hacking and
cutting things loose before checking to see how much they
cost to buy new.
For example:
Those inexpensive looking windshield finishing strips
for the BGT...expensive.
Those trivial looking chrome finishers for the door
tops...expensive
In addition to knowing where to put things back, it's useful
to know before hand which parts you should remove carefully
and which parts you can cut, grind, tear, yank, bend, and
pull.
