Summer 2009 780 Restoration project: need advice 700 1989

Hey all,

I will be restoring my 1989 780 Bertone this summer 09.

It needs a little body work and new paint. To take it to the body shop, I need to strip it, I mean strip everything off the exterior of the car.

I have that extra 780, a 1988, I bought last summer for parts. It will actually become practice ground to prep the 1989.

What I am looking forward to know: is there a how-to guide to get all those moldings off without ruining them? Same for the windows (the triangular ones in the back)? Is there anything I should watch for or put more attention on?

All advice dearly welcomed. Will start working on the car in May.
