There is a subset of the car show crowd that really objects to this type of thing, but who cares.

Neil:
Thanks for the email and input. Did you keep all the parts so it could always be put back if you or some else decided to and some future date? If so, I could be wrong, but I'm not sure why the purest would even be upset. Most of the cars the purest want to do a "frame Off", rotisserie Restoration to, almost always need to be taken complete apart, cleaned/fixed/replaced, then reassembled.
Doing a build like this one I think isn't much different. You are just waiting to reassemble back to stock at a later time instead of immediately. One thing for sure though, at least on cars that are not well supported, you better keep ALL the nuts and bolts and pieces in a safe place, as they they would be almost impossible to acquire at a date sometime in the future.
Were you able to keep your parts organized and packaged in a easy to find way?
Thanks,
Ty
