Body Buck for the Coupe?

[Slider]

When I built the MKIV I'd constructed a body buck to store the fiberglass body. Is there plans for something similar for the Coupe, or with the roof on the body is it solid enough to maintain its shape just sitting on the ground?

With the gen II there was a picture in the manual on supporting the body with the pontoons elevated off the floor.

HTH,

Thanks... and sorry for not doing a better search prior. I haven't received the manual yet, and was just thinking about what I could do prior to the kit arriving.... Then I searched and found a few ideas already posted. From David Williamson... "just 2 - 2X4's about 43 inches long set in a "V" to support the roof, very simple"


And thanks for the reference to the manual John...

Appreciated

Other guys have hung it from the ceiling upside down to keep out of the way.
I build/hung a 2x4 rack from the joists of the garage to support the body and then did the 2x4’s in the V shape to support it within that frame work.
More then one way to skin a cat!
