Just before I finally decide on which jobs I do over winter a thought came to mind. Are there any ramifications after a body raise/off in terms of crazing etc. once you've had the body back on for a while?

Apparently so. If either the chassis or body isn't repaired correctly then stresses may be built up when the two are reunited.

Ah, not doing repairs (fingers crossed) I'm just planning a spot of preventative maintenance. If I raise the body now and paint the chassis before the corrosion sets in she should be good for another ten years without major maintenance.
