What to do with the body off?
I’ll be swapping to a Doubletake Spartan body and was just wondering if there is anything I should do while I have the body off. Stuff that might be easier at that time. I’m already planning a full tune up with new belts.

A good cleaning and new bushings to start with.

Re: What to do with the body off?
Remove ans clean the gas tank if it needs it. Can’t do that with the body on.
Install wiring/light harnesses Get a bottle of aluminum brightener (pontoon cleaner) and clean the rear end and frame nice and shiny and new looking. Leaf spring and front end suspension bushings If you have an older style engine cradle, good time to install or replace the snubber. On newer style cradles the tang for the snubber unbolts so it’s easy to replace but you have to unbolt the rear ended from the leaf springs and slide the cradle back a bit to install the snubber, obviously much easier with no body |

I've got a thread started in the "members carts" forum, but haven't really updated it recently. I've been sandblasting all the old steel parts that will be powdercoated and reused...so nothing really exciting to see yet. |

Re: What to do with the body off?
While you're doing the "good cleaning" look closely at for cracks and broken welds in the aluminum.
