Not true. I am currently restoring a 3000 and there is no problem removing
body panels. The "more knowledgeable" source may have been referring to
more significant work such as removing sills, outriggers and other parts of
the chassis. One must be careful then as the chassis (and attached body
components) can move slightly if critical structural components are removed
without first providing some means of temporary support. But body panels such
as a fender are not a problem.
