Before you drill and weld something that's not nessesary....
We already figured it out by adjusting a few holes, so it fits nicely now.
we pulled it apart again, because the bedsides and fenders are going to need a hell of a lot TLC, but more about that later!
we have been finishing the doors. all painted and assembled. I'm amazed how easy these doors go in compared to my '69.





then the outer trim was put in place, this is such a #$!$%$ job...so easy to scratch the paint, which we did of course, but nothing that can be fixed.
in stead of screws we re-drilled the holes and used rivets to hold them in.



We tackled a other big hurdle, hood alignment!
we followed the incomprehensible description on Stovebolt, but managed to get the hood where we wanted. we had to ad a shim to the radiator support and loosened all the fender bolts. we will have to widen some hole in order to get everything buttoned up again, but this is where we are at the moment.
