Unpacking Your Kit
Customer picking up a kit at our Wareham, MA facility in June 2000.
Please note that your boxes are numbered, when you read your packing list you will see that next to each
assembly there is a number circled. This is the box number that the assembly was packaged in. The kit
is packaged in the order that you will be using the parts.
After everything is safely in your garage, please take the time to open each box and do a physical
inventory of all the parts. It is a good idea to work one box at a time and replace all the contents before
going on to the next box.

The body is shipped sitting on the frame.
Using two people, one person on each side of the body hold the body in the wheel well area.
The nose section removes easily from the front. Slide it forward before lifting off.
Carefully pull the front sides of the body out and up around the door hinge mounts while at the same
time lifting the rear of the body.
Rotate the back of the body down and the front up once the back is clear of the frame.

having a lot of weight on them.
