I did something similar but in reverse.=C2=A0 I had a small gathering for r=

two days I went from a bare frame to a rolling chassis with the body attac=

I also had help remounting the body on my TR3.=C2=A0 With no fenders it is =
an easy three-man job setting it in place.=C2=A0 Since you are taking it of=
