[F500] another newbie?

You might want to spend some time reconsidering cutting the body into 
sections. Perhaps you should think about trimming it to allow it to lift 
off as a one piece unit so all mechanicals are available quickly. It 
might require some body panel bracing from the back but I find this 
setup to be quite nice.

I have a Red Devil (modified '92 chassis with a '99 body) and I can 
stand in the cockpit, and pick up the body, then step out of the car. 
Everything is ready for work then. It makes pit work so much easier and 
my competitors drool every time I perform this feat of magic.
