Taking the body off
I'm waiting for a hood hinge assembly from Bruce before I can remove the body and start fabricating the aluminum panels. The body needs to be on so I can properly locate and weld everything. Since I don't know when the hinges will be delivered, I'm wondering if I take the body off now to do the panels, lay out the brake and fuel lines, lay out the wiring, etc. will I cause problems with installing the body and taking it off again later. In other words, will removing/installing the body several times before paint be bad for the body?
Thanks Bill |
Remembering when we did ours it was not a problem because the door fiberglass was still in place so the body had plenty of support in the rocker panel area. I had several people helping me with mine and a coach not afraid to bark orders. Also had a rack made for the body to sit on while setting up the chassis to not stress the fiberglass.
