| I am currently trying to restore my 1977 transpoter. I was wondering if it is a good idea to remove the front doors when painting. I've heard it can be a pain in the butt to get them back on. |

It's easier to paint a car when it's in pieces, rather than whole. The whole job will come out more even and look better. I hate it when guys spend a fortune painting a ride, but won't even replace the rotted seals.
There are a lot of skilled people on this board. They can help you through the pains. In the end, it's all worth it.

it depends on what kind of resto you're talking about. full on, show, driver, weekend warrior, all season driver?? interior & exterior?
are the windows out or masked? bumpers & trim, lights & mirrors in or out?
like icy said, taking the doors off will make it easier to spray the body and the doors and you'll get a better result. ditto with the decklid & side door. and all glass & bumpers.
good luck.  |

| I have started taking the car apart and was planning on removing everthing except the doors. I have heard that doors will almost never gone back on corectly thats why I asked. The only thing I am not sure If I'm removing is the dash. But maybe I'll just say what the hell. |
