Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and compliments. I would be honored to hear someone saw my inverted drill press and used that method. My shoulders are blown out from drilling overhead, so I was pressed to find a solution.
My frame is the original 1959, so the body mounts are stock and appear predictable. I only have myself and an engine hoist, so I'm hoping to mount the body to the frame one time only.
I don't have a set order of operations, just taking whatever looks like the next item and tackling it. I think after the driveline is squared away, I will go to fuel system, brakes, etc., before the body goes on. Then it's time for the bodywork and paint. Oh boy.
