body drop
i'm about to do the drop on my 70 vert. it doesn't have a front clip. i've repaired numerous cracks in the firewall and tub. changed from a turbo 400 to muncie. the body shims were rotted away, and i had to replace the #3 cage nuts. i've replaced the battery cable and glued the tunnel insulation in place. all new or rebuilt parts on the frame.
what have i forgotten to do? i don't want to lift the body for some dumb mistake!

Also be careful not to break the small pieces of fiberglas that protrude from the body to attach the rockers. Very easy to do!
