Hi Bob 46320
An incredible effort. I would think twice even if it had been a Bugatti. The common advice to leave on chassis is well founded! The biggest problem would seem to be the A pillar and post, all in view. How did you sort that without donor sections?
I dunno what was used as a paint but cars seemed to rot very fast. Rear and side rear window leaks contributed. My car came from a suburb where it rains horizontal salt spray. It was quite extensively patched in late 1940s but little subsequent despite at least 10 years outside. Did not use salt on roads here but dairy herds were driven to and from milking on the roads and cow dung did damage. Lodged in sills at rear and worked away for months after.
