How difficult is this, have many changes that would be alot easier if the body was off frame. . I understand the wiring and such, but where does the CRII actually attach to the frame

Do you have a manual?

if you search for this thread:
Default Original Classic Roadsters Assembly Manual- available for download
scroll to close to the end, you will find the link to download it. Should find all the info there I'm just getting started on a build.

There are numerous riveted spots that you will need to drill out. Plus some areas that may be glued in place. It will be interesting to see this done! Please take photos if you do move forward with this!

The instructions show it to be applied to inner panels attached to the body, not the frame. But who knows what was done when your car was assembled!
