Nice '66 Lilcuda. With an engine hoist available I would definitely keep the motor in and remove the K member. Way easier on the body and much better results.
You mean easier on my body? The more I look at it, the more I don't like the idea of laying under it trying to get the k member clean enough for paint. On the other hand, I'm trying draw the line somewhere. These projects tend to snowball. It's not a show car and won't ever be while I own it. My goal has always been to make it a nice, fun driver.
