Do whatever modifications you are going to do engine/drivetrain wise before you dismantle the body. It is much easier to get everything right with clearances and such with all in place. When you are satisfied with the modifications then remove the sheetmetal. This will keep you from boogering up a new paint job or some time consuming body work. Just my opinion!
