first of all it is a very easy, every one well tell you not to for veriuse resons.
but like bjtsarfire said its up to you. if you can do alot of the disasebly your self even strip the paint. you will save your self a boat load of money. check with your body shop the would probably want to do the body repairs first bifore taking it off the frame.mine was a hard top so i did mine first before body work. either way you will need to now how to renforce the door openings because its not a hard top. i took the body off the frame in my 22' by 18' garage then took the rolling frame and had it sand blasted then took it and had it primed and rubber caoted . coast for sand blasting and paint was about six hundred dollars. nd to boot mine is a driver thats what they were made for was to drive in my mind.
