The joyous day has arrived and I dropped off my 100% redone chassis with
drive train and suspension at my body man's shop.  He is going to test
fit the body this week, rework as necessary, do final straightening and
paint.  For anyone that has done this before I have a couple of
questions:

1.  I haven't got my parking brake handle back from the plater yet, will
this be a problem mounting with the body on?

2.  My new mounting kit from TRF only had 4 of the rubber strips where 6
are depicted in the shop manual & Moss catalog.  I ended up cutting the
longer ones to provide the extra pieces.  Is this the proper course?  I
have always been happy with TRF quality but I noticed in a recent
newsletter how proud of their kits they are with all of the instructions
they produce and I have yet to find any instructions with any of their
component kits.

3.  Undercoating.  THis may have already been discussed but the painter
asked if I wanted the wheelwells undercoated.  I don't think I want
undercoating sprayed all over my freshly rehabed frame.  Were these cars
delivered sans undercoating?

TIA.
