Reply to "I have to know! Please help."

I have talked about it with a few people most notably Beverly Hall of Hall Pantera and it is generally viewed as not a good idea. Once the car is disassembled the body is quite weak. At least on my powder coating system the amount of danger involved (such as tweaking the whole car) out weighs the benefits. (Our line is 1,200ft conveyorized). If you had a batch system... maybe... but to really achieve a quality Powder coated finish pretreatment is paramount.

Our pretreatment washer is 6 stages and 120ft long.
stage 1) Alkaline bath
stage 2) R.O. water rinse
stage 3) Iron phosphate (Acidic)
stage 4) R.O. water rinse
stage 5) Non-Chrome sealer
stage 6) Final D.I. water rinse.

Don't get me wrong I haven't ruled it out just yet. But the conventional wisdom says no.
