Folks, in pic 141 you can see I do not have the 6" x 6" plates attached to the rocker sill yet, that is because I did not have the rear sheetmetal installed or "mocked up"

The blueprint dimensions that I have are not exactly the same as what the measurement's are when all the metal is assembled... that's why you see the next series of photos showing the trunk area..... In pic 141 the threaded 5/8 rod from pillar to pillar at the front is set where it needs to be so the front end aligns as it should...a lot of you all know this but for those that don't...this is the "old school" way or how to do it in your "home" workshop.

1/4" here and 1/4" there is no big deal when fitting the panels but it is when you are fitting the tubing

basically I am putting the whole car together and then taking it all apart again until I am happy with the fit and finish
