Reply to "Torque Setting for nuts holding the Speedster body to the chassis."

No official torque spec for the body to chassis bolts, but I'd suggest the same torque as a 10mm VW body to pan bolt which is 15-20 ft/lbs.  They are nylock nuts but they do have a rubber pad between the frame and body, which may have shrunk or flattened out over the last 16 years.

As mentioned above, the body/chassis is bonded from stem to stern and the bolts are mainly used for alignment purposes when the chassis is inserted into the mold. You'd be fine without them, but there is also no point of having loose bolts so just snug them up.
