If you don't support the body at its mounting points correctly and you start replacing panels it will be very difficult to get everything lined up again.
Nuts. I wanted to put my burb body on the rotisserie so I could do panel replacement! Mine will need some work in the rockers, rear lower quarters and the wheel arch.
