That's one of the things that takes some time... figuring out the order the panels were assembled at the factory so they can be removed in the reverse order. Then visualizing how to make each piece; where to shrink/stretch, which bend needs to be done first so the next bend will fit in the brake, etc.

We had a guy pull up in a Chevy work van a few years ago that needed a window regulator and the table set was in the back. They had taken it out of their beach house and was about to put it in storage. Ended up trading the regulator job for the table. It's from 1953. At one point we had an early 50's stove, fridge, and cabinet in the "kitchen" area of the shop that went perfectly with the table.
