As it happens, most of it will be coming out, so I don't have to worry about complete stripping. The shell is on its side, Clarici-style, and I have started cutting out the floors. There are places with three layers welded on, one inside and one outside of the original, which is still in place. It's a mess. Still not exactly sure what I will uncover when it is all off, but now and then I get glimpses of holes that I wish were not there.
It is really fortunate that I have a Midget in driving condition, as it takes a lot of pressure off the restoration schedule. I will do whatever is necessary to make it right, in contrast to the Midget, which I felt compelled to get on the road before Winter set in. (I did manage to drive it for two weeks before it got too cold without a top.)
