Ground up restoration is where you keep the car pretty much assembled, and perform body work and painting. Possibly replacing trim, lights, break components and interior. If required the drive-line might be replaced or repaired. Whereas a frame off restoration usually involves tearing the car completely apart removing the fenders, doors, engine and drive-line usually removing and replacing interior components and taking the car body off of the frame for a framed vehicle, and removing all suspension and body bracing components. Then usually the individual pieces are cleaned repaired, painted and then the vehicle is reassembled using new mounting hardware such as bushing, bolts, body mounts. Until the car is whole complette and drivable again

What does frame off restoration mean?

A frame off restoration means to remove the upper body of the car from the under carriage(frame). The phrase is usually used in connection with older full framed cars but still means the same on cars with subframes. A frame off restoration is incredibly time consuming and expensive but is the only way to correctly and fully restore a classic like a 442, GTO, Chevelle etc...
