Default Re: Houston....We have a problem

Moving the back end of the skeleton forward an inch would be simple enough. All I would have to do is knock an inch off of the upper side rail (where the 2 screws are), then shorten the sill by an inch and move the car door post and corner post ahead an inch and the quarter panel should fit. HOWEVER, as rotorwrench stated, these wood kits should only require minor fit adjustments and I just can't see it needing to be shortened by a whole inch. Also, if I was to do this, I will have to shorten the floor by an inch and I KNOW that the floor is exactly the same length as the original now so shortening it an inch can't be correct. I may have to put the body back on the chassis, mount the running board and check the location of the rear fender relative to the quarter panel????. Everything suggests that the wood is correct except that it isn't.
