Beware Dumb Hot Rod Shops

I've always thought it would be fun to completely disassemble a Volkswagen bug, rent an apartment,carry it in peice by peice over time, reassemble it completely in the living room then move out...:)
An old timer did that around here 50+ years ago with a Model T. He had it all reassembled and running on the second floor. He passed away and the car just sat until about 15 years ago when they went to knock the building down. I don't know what they did with it after they took it out through the wall.
