Beyond that, my current project is being done by... well... me. I painted it, but I have never painted professionally. I pulled the body off of the frame, but (at the time) my parent's garage didn't have a lift. I did thw body work, including making a fiberglass spoiler for the trunk, but I have never done professional body work.
My point is that an enterprising person would have no trouble pulling the body. Beyond that, it will make repairing any damage (G bodies tend to rot their rear frame rails) and will make it a better job for little or no additional money. I hope I haven't offended anyone here, if I have, I apoligize.

Also a couple very good points. I guess I really could go either way as long as money isn't spent sandblasting and powdercoating it. I personally think that's overkill for this particular project.
