I took the engine/transmission to Yves Boode @ Vintage Sports Car in Woodstock Illinois for disassembly and rebuild. Yves is going to dial in another 50hp or so. Next step is to lift the body off. There are just a few more items to disconnect. Can the body be supported with planks running under doors, wheel well-to-wheel well? That appears to be the easiest way, but as that area carries no load to begin with, I am considering alternatives.
I can't see a complete "restoration" on this car, but more of a "rebuild" sort of undertaking. No need to throw good money after bad; I crossed that line some time ago! Then again, my objectives are subject to change as I proceed.
This project is taking much longer than what I originally envisioned. I expect that is par for the course. It is the journey, not the destination?
