I really could care less whos body you use but your BSing yourself if you dont think you have to mock it up before you pull it apart and paint it.

No sheehite Sherlock. Of course it will have to come back apart for the body to be painted. What did you think ?, that I was going to assemble the whole car and get out 13 cans of Krylon or a roller and a tray of latex ??

I've heard the horror stories in some of the other builder's posts, and all the stuff the have had to fight in assembling their rides. My build so far, ( knock on wood ) has been smooth as silk. That is what I was conveying. But I will say this, If I invest the money in which these parts cost, and If I run into a problem, the manufacturer will hear from me for sure. And usually, It is probably something I am doing wrong that is causing the problem.

A good glass body takes a minimum of work to get it ready for paint. My Outlaw 3 window body was very straight, and my painter said it took less than a cup of filler to get it ready for paint, and that was mainly used where I permanently attached the rear fascia piece to the body. What a lot of people don't realize is that a good body may cost more up front, but you save tons of time and money prepping it for paint.
