Yes , do put some soft rubber mat'l between body and frame. Reducts raddles but more importantly makes a water seal from under car to inside. The fiberglass in not straight.

The most useful thing I did on my build was mount a 12" 2x6 under the lip of the dash and at the rear seat bulkhead; then mount a 2x6 fore/aft with joist hangers between the dash/rear. This allows you to get the "perfect balance point" by moving fore and aft a chain fall mounted to an eye on the ceiling. You can take the body off and on by yourself in about 15 secs. Put masking tape on the floor to box in the four wheel positions and it works like magic. I took mine off and on probably 75 times. you can roll the chassis out /in; even store the body up at the ceiling while you work on mechanicals. My body spent at least 6 months of it's life hanging from the ceiling while other work was going on. After finishing, I took the body off one last time to paint. After paint, rolled the body back in, hoisted up to the ceiling for storage, rolled the chassis in for the last time, did final hooks ups and lowered down for the final time.m Never needed any help. Wife really appreciated that!. BEST THING I DID.
Used a $35 harbor freight chain fall.
