Default Rolling Shell, questions

Hi all,
What parts are need to make a rolling shell for cutting and welding then on to painting?
In the process of stripping my car, and think what thing I need to get my hands on.
I'm going to remove all my suspension parts so I can stop them getting paint on, and give me time to clean stuff up. So going to fix old crap parts, got Front Shocks and hubs, any other parts need for the front?
Nothing for the rear as of yet, apart form rear wishbones and trailing arms, what else is needed?
Cheers

could always leave suspension on while cutting and welding and prepping then take it all of for painting, i do this then paint underneath and engine bay while on a chassis spit which bolts to front and backpanel then put running gear back on to paint outside if you mask off properly you wont get overspray on suspension
