You could put her on a Celette bench but it'll be one heck of a pull to get the frame back straight.

if it was a six chassis like ol black n yeller, i would say yes but its just a 75-four. 60 hours would not git er done.

how many hours did you guys put into that black n yeller?

is that six back together yet?

So, here's a reminder how elegant the 914 unibody was designed.

The obvious "add lightness" has it's weaknesses .... glad no humans were hurt at this slow speed.

I still say the BUBs are worth keeping in place. There would have been more damage without them.

Yes, they do some good, but isn't it kinda moot if its totaled?
