The body mounting stage is a very exciting time for the FFR builder. After mounting it finally starts to feel like you have accomplished something. Frankly, on this car it's almost anti-climatic. It really does not take all that long; and it's much easier than you might think. (Guys, keep your mind out of the gutter).
The real issue is making sure you have completed everything that should be done before you take this step. This includes any modifications or up grades that would be easier to do before the body is on.
This is certainly an area where members can offer suggestions. As you are well aware the sky is the limit on modifications you could do during your build. There are only two limiting factors; the cost (which may be significant) and the time it takes (which is always longer that expected).
That said……… make us an offer – when do you want to host a group of noisy unruly guys with noisy unruly cars? Keep in mind how your neighbors will react. Also remember the judge said certain members can not be within 500 feet of certain other members (that distance is reduced to 100 feet after dark). My personal opinion is he was a tad prudish; after all it was not his wife and daughter.
But I regress, the single most important question to answer at this point is; which shade of blue is really your favorite?
