Did you have the body off the frame?

When I rebuilt my 3 I took all the removable panels off the body but 
left the body on the frame. Both floor boards and sills were replaced, 
one at a time, with the body on the frame, and the rear valance was 
replaced with a new one.  All the body panels just bolted back on in place.
