Not Ranked
I left the hood and trunk on when I put my body on. Of course I had 4 people helping. (one on each fender)
Definitely pull the radiator and headers.
(Don`t forget to make a hole for the shifter)
If you`re running a small block there`ll be plenty of room for the headers BUT its always best to have as much clearance as possible.
Once the body is on (and it sounds like you might be doing this solo) TAKE YOUR TIME and walk all around the car seeing how the tires line up in the fenders.
I know the manual says to drill and rivet the body to the frame. I drilled and tapped for 3/8 x 16 bolts.
Body hasn`t moved a smidge in the 3 years I`ve had it on the road.
