Looks like he has a lot of room to work, that’s good! Not to be simplistic, but make sure everything is tagged and small parts in bags. I’ll give you an example of how NOT to do it, fellow was going to paint my car, took the doors off, and threw all the door hinges in a bucket. Big mistake, as each hinge was specific to a location, probably hand fit at the factory…took us a lot of time when putting hinges back on to get doors to fit correctly….best of luck with the restoration, will be a great car when done…
How does the car look so far as to wear? It really looks like it will be a somewhat easy restoration.
It is unbelievably solid. No wood rot at all. Only rust out is directly below what I think is the jack storage box in rear compartment. All the testo guys can not believe how solid it is. 
Body off next, then the entire drive trane gets shipped off and chassis heads to the blaster
Looks like they’re not wasting any time doing their work.
I’ve always like the looks of the touring cars and yours should look fantastic when it’s done.
Keep the pics coming showing the progress.
Not sure what you mean about jack storage.
My car, and assume earlier too, had a feature where the backrest of the rear seat was hinged at the bottom, and had three knob/screws at the top that engaged an L bracket to secure. This was where the side curtains were stored….
Car looks like it is good and solid. Richard, be sure to have the right people restoring the car. People who have done post war cars often don’t understand the early cars. To most Pierce collectors cars with wrong hardware, incorrect paint or plating, non authentic and over restoration can cause resale issues in the future. Find a 29 expert to help with the details. Keep posting the photos.
Thanks guys!
I had no idea that compartment was for side curtains. Where was the jack and handle placed?
On a 1936 Pierce Arrow can the piston be removed from the bottom or does the head have to be removed??
