Eastwood makes a ton of products that will come in handy, but I'm sure you know of them already. POR15 also makes a few quality products you could use too.
If you want to make it easier on yourself, I have a good write up w/ pics to build a rottiserie to mount the body or the frame to. You'd be able to go nuts on the detal level of the restoration
I'd be very interested in that write up. I PM'ed you my email.
I'm trying to decide right now which way to go with the frame. I'm leaning toward stripping it and having it powdercoated, but I don't know. I'm getting to the point that I'm going to have to spend more than time on it and that will take me a little longer than I want...

And yes, it's a Buick Skylark that I hope to fully customize. I don't want a clone of the GS, but I will be using several aspects of the GS on it (hood, grille). And I wish Foose could get his hands on it, I would really like what he would do.
