First thing I'd check would be to find out if your body shop has the capacity to handle the tub by itself.
Another thing to think about being the body would be apart is...all the parts may or may not be painted at the same time, making a perfect match between panels a crap shoot.

IMO separating the body from the frame
opens up an entire new 'can-o-worms'.
