[TR] body to sill fit

[Ibsen Dow]

Hi Gary,
When I did my resto on my TR3A, I had several members of our club come and
help me align the body to frame. It was not that bad in aligning body to frame
mounts by using guide pins or long drifts helped in the alignment. However I
did not have two clips to align and that could be a problem for you if the
measurements are not correct.
The body does not sit on the door sills (rocker panel).  Good luck,

  frame up restore on tr-3
  I have my body tub split into two pieces while i work
  on replacing rusted out places on each clip.  just received a new left sill
  (right one back ordered) mounted it and tentatively fit the front clip.
Looks
  like rear of front clip fits ok to sill but farther forward fit is around
  3/8th off.  tentatively measuring things it looks like the other side will
  also be off over an inch.

  my question is to anyone who has done a body
  off.  does the body fit down on sills?  how did your body fit?  is there
lots
  of fudging/budging to do? lol

  thanks!
  gary n.
