If your going to send it out for paint leave the original k member in place. It will get hit with over spray and everything else while in paint jail. Ask me how I know.
@MrJLR, I can loan you the US Cartool hoist when you go to reinstall the Engine/Suspension assembly. US Cartool also makes a K-frame dolly to make that job easier but I'm just going to use a pair of furniture dollies.
