I second what Ray suggests on paint. It is a good time to check not only the welds, but how square it is. A coworker is restomodding an 81' Corvette, he jumped the gun and spent a wad on powder coating the frame - only to find it was tweaked in several spots once he began reassembly.

He dismissed my words when I told him, "Build it twice, once in the rough - then again as a finished product."
