Yes, this!
I would have loved to be able to pop the shell off, then I could have done the entire floor at once rather than half and half.
And you know, having a rotisserie to mount the de-shelled frame and flip it over and back sure would have made for much easier and quicker frame cleaning, welding, repainting, and bellypan installation as well.
But, we don't all have access to the same resources, whether that's space, equipment, time, or money. Doing it shell-on is the only way for some people, and it can be done, and done well.
