I talked with ERA a bit before taking off the body--it didn't make as many funny noises when "stretched" as I thought it would! Gravity made the reinstall much easier and anti-climatic. I just followed their procedure.

I also obtained all sealing materials and rivets from ERA so I could use what they use.

Painting the inside of the body completely was their suggestion since the body was going to be completely removed from the frame--they cited better protection as well as better appearance for those areas that will still show. Admittedly, I can no longer show off the coremat at the top of what will be the fenderwells.

It sounds like we are taking similar approaches to building our cars.
