Bodyman said "it's time to get the body off the roto and assemble this for panel fit. So yesterday, I "discovered" the front subframe assembly under a lot of plastic I had thrown on to protect it from sanding dust and paint overspray. It still had a lot from before it got covered and I spent a couple hours doing an initial cleanup. I then cleared everything out from around, under and in the body to access it with the fork lift.

This morning, I lifted the body off, broke down the roto and hauled it to the back storage building. After I set the body on the floor, I realized it was perfect to get back to work on the roof, which needs more work and was NOT fun to work on after I put the body on the roto. More on that to come.
I rolled the rear axle outside on a pair of wheel dollies and scraped, wire brushed, soaked with de-greaser and then got my pressure washer running after sitting for 10 years...with OLD gas in the tank...yeah, stupid move, took a couple hours and a butane torch, but it does run again.
