I think I can get away with the pipes and those things attached to it, but it specifically states the frame is to be inspected prior to body assembly on it, but I think I would have the body painted by one of the shops ERA recommend. |
You can have the body painted and ERA will temporarily bolt it to the chassis for shipping (it is ultimately bonded and rivited on). You'd obviously have to have space to carefully remove the body and would probably want to build a body buck or stand to hold it while off the car. ERA probably would have some good recommendations for that. You'll want to lift the body with 4 people, so 3 friends and a couple six packs of beer should do it (move the body first - then drink the beer)
The exhaust pipes are one of the last things to go on, so no problem with your laws there.
