NOT IF YOU DO IT RIGHT!  First, the donor body needs to be stripped and
refurbished and that means removing or stabilizing all rust, knocking out
all dents and doing a million little things that always show up.  Then,
every donor part being transferred needs to be cleaned, derusted,
straightened, painted and/or oiled as needed.  It takes a long time but if
you don't do it, you're only going from a junker to a half junker.
