Excellent report!
I have to say, I am very taken by your effort. To me, the 1961 full size Chevrolet was an excellent design in terms of styling, some of the best from the late fiftes in terms of lines, along with some new into-the-60s looks combined with those. Has to be something from Bill Mitchell of the GM Stlying Studios.
The thought and work you are putting into this project is awesome. Dismantling a vehicle into it's individual parts and reassembling them using the correct coatings and colors is a challenging task. We commend you on taking this approach! For most of us this would take the better part of the next years of our lives. So we know what you are going through. Seems you have it all planned out, have the space and resources to do the job correctly, that is really special

It sure is fun to take apart a Van Nuys car, isn't it? Everything spins off, nothing breaks or snaps, stuff cleans up fairly easily and can be reused. Doesn't get much better, eh?
I'm working on a '62 that spend much of it's life in Nebraska, want to come help out when you are done? All kidding aside, these projects become a life unto themselves, but eventually you get them done to your satisfaction, little steps at a time (celebrate when you do make progress!), and in the end, you get to enjoy them for what they are, and share them with enthusiasts like us. Thanks for doing that. Now I need to get out to the garage and put some hours on my project

Have fun!
