One more suggestion. I guess after the body is off the frame you're going to
paint the frame and everything. Before remounting the body get a sheet of
heavy plastic and put it over the frame then mount the body on top of that
so that paint doesn't get on the frame.

When you get it back from the body shop just cut it off or rip it off.
