I reject the claim to being an expert, however I did go through this
myself a couple of years ago. The tub off the frame in one piece,
scuttle attached, with no need to support the bottom of the door
frames. I built a fairly simple dolly from two by fours and casters
to hold the tub while I worked on it. Alignment is not particluarly
difficult except (a big exception) getting the doors to line up. Good
luck.

Hi All,
I have a question for the experts on the list. I'm presently
performing
a frame-off of a 52 TD. When pulling the body off of the frame, do
you
have to suport the door frame like on a MGA to keep the body from
bending in the middle? Should I remove the front scuttle(sp?), you
know
the part the windscreen attaches to? Are they hard to realign when
you
reassemble? My body looks clean, although it is in need of a touch
up,
The frame is rusted and that's what I want to tackle first. Any
advice
is appreciated very much.
TIA
Rick
