OK, I am finally getting my body back from the shop in two weeks. It'll be all fixed up nice, painted and have the headliner installed.

It has been several YEARS since it went in - long story, believe me. At any rate, I've rebuilt the brakes, put in new brake lines, new accellerator cable, new tie rod and bushings and some other things.

My question is: What else should I check out/rebuild before the body goes back on? If there are things that are most easily accessable with the body off, I don't want to miss anything!

Thanks much!!

If you haven't, now is the time to install new transmission mounts.

Is the engine installed? I would replace the muffler if it looks suspect.
