Thanks guys....nothing like talking to those who've done it.

Rust treatment and prevention is the inspiration for detailitis.

Did you guys disconnect the driveshaft at the rear and just leave it supported when you removed everything else?

If I go in to just replace subframe and trailing arm bushings and paint what is exposed' will I need to mess with the driveshaft?
