Folks:

When Bob Putnam speaks everyone should pay attention.

As Bob indicated, bond the body on, trial fit the trim and send it off to paint without any of the mechanicals installed. This way the painter can check all the body opening gaps and things are less likely to "move." Clean up of the car is much easier and consists largely of just hosing it down; not easy to do if everything is installed.

Tony, who has done a number of ERA cars, has stands for all the removable body parts for prep work and painting of door jams, etc.
