Body Removal and Front Suspension Assembly

With inventory complete the first step in assembly it actually dis-assembly.  The body and aluminum panels are loosely attached to the chassis for shipping so I got a hold of some friends who were willing to come over and lend a hand.  With one of us on each corner of the body we lifted (rear first) and the body came off.
The "body buck" I built is on stilts so I can roll it in to the garage above the chassis for storage.  It was a cool idea I gleaned from other builders, but it makes a bit more challenging to place it on the buck.  Me and another friend actually sliced are fingers pretty good so I bought some extra gloves for next time.
Since taking the body off took all of 5 minutes... We decided to remove the aluminum panels as well.  3 of us with markers labeling the pieces and a couple with nut drivers and ratchets made pretty quick work of that too so... why not start assembling the front end.

So we grabbed some pizza for lunch and assembly began.  We actually got everything together to the point were the first back ordered part stopped us.  The spindles were missing, but we got the rest of it loosely assembled.
