Looks like he is wanting to leave the body on the frame.


...that will add a huge amount of dead weight that I would try to avoid.

No response since.

Been away for several weeks so no chance to respond. I'm going to use spacers to raise the body off the frame, but mount it with the frame so I will not need to add stiffeners to the body. This is the way Whirley Jig recommended doing it. Since a 57 Belvedere weighs a little less than a b-body, keeping the frame on should not weigh much different than the b-bodies I have done. I have pretty well figured out how to fab the brackets to attach to the frame, so now it's just a matter of finding the time. Still working on fabbing motor and trans mounts before I put it on the rotisserie.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Gave me good ides.
