I would do install the body and fit everything then do your paint and body work. Install the drive train last. It is a little tricking dropping the motor in after the paint, but I hated cleaning everything after paint. Painter loved it as his job was easier. As for the body fit, if the tubes don't match up and I am sure the will be off, two different supplier, don't force it. Move the tubes to support the body without putting pressure on it. It will save you the grief of cracks later on. Also make sure the suspension with wheels, windshield, etc. all fit before you go crazy with the paint work in case you need to move the body around. I know, I make it sound simple and it is after you do 50 or 60 of them. Just take your time and it will all come togather.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Mike
