It's normal for an original body, especially one from that era, to be less than perfect. I will always try to get the suspension geometry dead nuts and do what you have to do to make it look right. Suspension and driveline geometry has to be correct. The rest is just along for the ride. Putting something together crooked to make it look right is a skill acquired when working with this old sheet metal.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
