OMG, I can relate with what you wish to attempt. In 2004 I bought a freshly restored 70 Lemans Sport for $3500.
The only thing that was wrong with it was the car-port tent it was under fell on the car in a wind storm. Basically, it had three scratches in the paint, hood, door and trunk. Remember the car was a recent resto! I used the car as is for 6 months and decided to fore fill my longtime dream of having a car most would consider show and go!
Yes, I blasted it apart! Call it a ground up, frame off, rotisserie, or whatever. I call it lost enjoyment. Sure, I gained incremental enjoyment during the project but looking back on my decision I definitely wish I enjoy the car longer before blasting apart!
I say enjoy it for a while (1-2 years) then if you must do your ground up, plan the project well. Bag and tag EVERYTHING!
Ps, I'm still working on that dream of mine!
