Bret's number one rule of building cars: start with the best body you can find. The paint was faded nearly off the Buick, but the body was solid, rust-free, and ready to disassemble, strip, and paint. Wow, that was easy to say, but a little harder to do! Here's a tip: spend time setting door gaps and aligning fenders before disassembly. Make a note of any shims used, or drill a small pilot hole in door hinges to allow easy reassembly when painted. In short, do your beatin' and bangin' before the paint is applied!
