Re: 67 rolling frame
That's a mystery to me too. IMO it's easier with the engine installed, because then you will have some compression on the springs.

 Now, just like everyone else said, as long as the springs are installed, you don't need shocks. Just don't install the motor with no springs and the shocks installed!

Re: 67 rolling frame
Nope, haven't built mine yet... unless you count the thousands of times I've built it in my head! I did take it apart, though.
