I'm going to be doing the same thing with mine as soon as the weather improves. I did it once about eight years ago and it's time to do it again. This time I'm going to build a tube frame inside first, in the hope that it will help to keep the body more rigid , It should also simplify some of the interior bits. I doubt the interior crap will fit after I finish but who cares. gotta love the rust belt.
