Hey,

Its starting to look like a car again.  My neighbor (rebuilding a 78 Scout) 
and my friend (rebuilding a 46 Jeep) helped me lift the body (now with 
floors) back onto the frame.  Today I hung the right side fenders by a 
couple of screws to check panel alignment.  Looks pretty good, small 
adjustments and it will pass.

My question: does anyone have a method for selecting the number of body 
mounting pads at each point?  It looks to me that the number of pads can 
shim the body up and provide these small adjustments, thus reducing the 
time spent trying to tweak panels.  If not, then I'll just jam the same 
number of pads that I took out of each spot, then adjust so that 
floors/body mounting points are close to the frame, without wiggles.

Thanks,

Cliff Hansen
