Your right, they really fly bye.

Yepper's, the very next step in the progression is bolting everything down with the body mounts prior to any more welding.
I've found a good ratchet strap pulls the firewall pretty good too.

The windows have a 'frame' of sorts around them, don't believe there's been any movement due to being removed. (I will check though)

Seeing this post again has gotten thing's all stirred up again. (jonesin' for the blazer)
