[Healeys] Supporting a painted BN2 body

[editorgary at aol.com]

Where you install the suspension doesn't matter. If you construct a moveable
frame, do it before you take the car to the body shop, but all it has to do is
give you a way to get the car on and off a trailer for those trips. Once it
gets back home, the best thing to do is to make the installation of the
suspension your first order of business. So that temporary stand doesn't need
to be anything special, and your sprite rack can probably work just fine.

Gary,
     Thanks for the suggestion.  I doubt I would be able to use the paint shop
to install anything.  This guy is very busy and cramped for space as he is
working on six other Healeys in a shop he rents from a stone mason.  The stone
mason still uses part of the shop on a limited basis, so it can get very
hectic at times. He rents a paint booth from the body shop across the way to
paint the cars.  As soon as it is painted, it is coming home.
