I chose to leave body shroud on during my resto. Cost was main concern. All
four fingers needed bottoms fixed. Use a rust conversion product on all
frame sections with surface rust. I am doing a great driver, not an award
winner. I took doors and fenders off. I am rewireing car and will be
installing dash. I like using plastic straps to hold in place while hooking
it all up.
