Took us almost three days to do mine. We had 0 airtools and didn't use a lift. It all got done though.

I started down this road....as a matter of camaraderie, I will share...

Begin here:

http://www.myunibody.com/forum/viewt...t=813&start=70

This is what I went through....but mine was much worse.

I eventually sold and bought a rust free 98....but that is because I wanted to just start over and get a better shell for what I want to do with it. I had derusted all but the body.
