The most attractive part of having a spare, DONE frame in my garage was that I could ditch the factory parts and install the new goods myself (slowly) without working up under the car although at some point I would have to have that put up under the car as well.

Gotcha.... yes -- that is how I've done my stuff - new chassis - get 'er all done mostly, and do the body drop. However, I have a lift and a body rotisserie -- and you'll find that in order to do it "right" -- you'll do the body drop several times... because you'll drop it on - take measurements / do fitments - then lift it off to do some more work or mod's etc... back on for a check - and more work or re-do work and final other work. At least that's how I do it. No way am I good enough to put the body on once and have it all figured out.... besides I'm dumber than a stump and forget half what I just looked at 5 minutes ago... LOL
