Putting on the body - Huge Step!!!

Lots of preparation, checking, riveting etc... With Riki's help, we took the body dolly out for the first time in years, and got ready to lift and place onto the chassis... It was pretty tough to bolt on the long stainless steel exhausts as the lock nuts were tight, and the hangers had to bolt thru into the foot wells.   Lifting the body without  bending it too much was pretty difficult, and once we got the front on, and bent the dashboard sides round, the back prived hard to push into place. We also discovered that the exhausts had to be taking off to put the sides of the body on, so emergency exhaust removal had to be done on the driveway
