Where to put the body...

[Mongoose]

Not a dead body - my cobra body. Can i leave it outside on the gravel under a tarpaulin or will it warp or get damaged? Any suggestions on where I can put it? It may be there for some time!

I hung mine from he garage roof for about a year just a few eye bolts and a washing line

I left mine outside on the driveway. It gives the tub a chance to get weathered. I did put some 4 x 2 under the rear end to stop the boot "drooping", apart from this it should be fine.

Agree, leave it outside with the rear propped with timber, do not cover, let it weather, it won't do any harm.

Think of all the Fibreglass sailing boats bobbing up and down in harbours - does them no harm at all.

Yes, i made the mistake of covering the body with a black tarp, i would suggest two lengths of 3x2 in the chassis rail positions (leveled!), and a support for front and rear

Mine was left outside for a year, I did cover it with a light cover during the winter just to keep the rain from gathering in it, summer it was uncovered.

mine was uncoveerd for several years in the garden and down the side of the house, and happily sat in the sun to bake off and harden up. I did cover it when it was outside my garage for a year or two - with old sheets and a plastic tarp, to stop the local pykies takig an interest.

always supported the rear with some 4x2.

My paint job didnt uinvolve an oven bake, and worked out fine once the obvious holes had been dug out.

I agree with Steve.
hang from the garage roof - good and hot over the summer
