Default Got a question about putting my body back on the frame

Its time to drop the body back on the frame, when I got the car it did not have the core support or bumper support installed. Right now I have both mounted to the frame so I could start the motor. What is the correct way to drop the body, with the core support mounted in the body or frame? Thanks

Core support goes in the body and provides a little stiffness on the front. don't install your shroud or radiator though - they won't clear.

I had my core support (without the radiator) and bumper support bolted to the body. I used one come-a-long on the bumper support and one on the body straps and lowered them together.

The body will not clear the core support with it bolted to the frame.
