Thanks. One good decision was that I had originally planned to paint the frame myself but I changed later and had it powder coated by ERA. I am sold on having them do that. One, it really looks nice and powdercoating is tough. Two, I don't think it would be easy getting this body off the frame and then back on later. You really would have to have a bunch of folks to help spread the sides way apart and lift it off. I hate bending fiberglass that far but obviously it will take it or ERA wouldn't be able to get them mounted.
