Chassis Earth?

It would appear my chassis is not earthed.

Should it be, and if not, is there a reason why I shouldn't make it so?

Thanks

I've not long had the body lifted, but wasn't sure if the chassis, as opposed to the body was also earthed.

Thank you Disco Mikey, that was what I was after.

I didn't want to earth the chassis if it wasn't meant to be, and give myself probabal problems later.
