Dan,

I use contact cement to glue all pads to the frame. This includes all the 
metal pads as well. Makes installing the frame that much easier.

On a 6 the # of pads and metal shims depends on the doors. Trial and error 
usually.

Just completed installing the body tub on my 72 6 project. Everything went 
just as planned. Every hole in the body lined up with its hole/welded nut in 
the frame.
