Actually that sounds like a great idea. I’m gonna wait to my new body mounts come in and then loosen everything up and make sure the correct amounts are in the correct place but not tighten anything. That way with those checks Actually that sounds like a great ideal. I’m gonna wait until my new...

Too narrow like 31 3/4 versus 32 1/8.

I agree with you. After one person posted earlier about the mounts being installed incorrectly and sending a drawing of the same ones I have I started looking at it and they are definitely installed incorrectly and two of them are even missing. Since I don’t have the parts he did install I went...

Excuse me the top opening on both side is 3/4 to 1” too short.

Both pillars aren’t square. The door on both sides does not fit by about the same amount. It is 3/4 to 1 inch too long on the top. The bottom is correct as far as the measurement.

No I don’t see how the door would. If you look at the measurements I posted yesterday of the door opening between the top and the bottom the bottom is what people are saying it should be around 32 to 32 1/8”and mine on the top is only 31 3/4.

Just posted about the body mounts.

These of the type of body mounts he used . The one in the picture is thick. Then there’s two that are basically half that size that are on some of them. Just noticed he put the one on in the very back towards the back bumper on wrong. It’s two pieces and he’s got the one below the tub mount but...

My son has a 71 and he has that seam. I know his tub hasn’t been replaced. The things kind of rust bucket everything on its original

Here are some more.

OK the Colorado comment was good because the guy I purchased it from was in Colorado. Here are all my pictures. As you can tell by the measurements the door frame starts off the right amount at the bottom but then starts to get narrower at the top. Again I had an issue when I mounted the fenders...

Actually it is going to have to get painted again. When they painted the tub the paint on the doors, windshield, back doors doesn’t match. The tub is mounted to the frame but all the other parts were separate so they painted them separately. That’s why I am putting it together so they can paint...

The big thing though is he said once he had a body shop attached to Cowl to the tub he made sure the doors fit which now that I’m getting into I find hard to believe.

No unfortunately I don’t. The person I bought it from is not much help either as I’ve had this thing two years and just now getting to the point of putting it together and he doesn’t remember all that or so he says.
