The body has been disassembled and is ready to come off. At this point, there are over 200 numbered zip lock bags, 450 indexed pictures of wiring routing, specific hardware, colors, etc. This car has been largely unmolested over the last 50 years. We want this car to go back together as if it just rolled down the assembly line.
