Re: Fatman, TCI, or Scotts IFS/Chassis on 49 AD
Cool, now for the build photos. Keep us posted on the progress.
I'd go along with getting the chassis all squared away as far as possible before pulling the body off the original frame. If you have done a number of them you tend to know and remember where those odd looking pieces go after it has been apart for a length of time but the first time around you want it all fresh in your memory or it starts to be that 5000 piece red puzzle you heard about when you were a kid.
The only rub in waiting to take it apart is that you do have to take the time to do the cleanup and paint work before transferring the part. If I had a big designated work area where I could pull it apart and do all the work on the body that I had planned to do and have it all ready to drop on the chassis when the chassis is ready that could really speed the process up.
