I didn't call it a "frame off", you did. What I said was "But you can't
take the rest of the sheet metal from the floor (unless, of course, you do
like a custom restorer did in Denver, where they put a '67 body on an '05
chassis)."

Go ahead, accept it, but that doesn't mean I have to. It also doesn't mean
I don't understand what people who say it really mean - whether or not they
really understand it's not totally accurate, or if they're just using it
for convenience. Personally, I consider just plain "restoration" a
perfectly adequate description in this case.
