| Re: Fitting the body
The advice I've read is to remove a wedge shape, start 10mm or so at the front and taper to nothing at the back.
If you put the body on you'll find it's sort of wedge shaped out the mold and the front of the sills will be pressing against the bulkhead while the back sticks out 3-4inches.
Having said that - I didn't trim anything off my body and did alright with it. I needed another pair of hands to push the rear sills in and hold them while I drilled an bolted, but it's turned out fine.
If you've got the energy and willing volunteer to put the body on, measure up and remove it again before trimming and refitting then it's probably worth a go, it will make fitting the doors a bit easier (though not a lot in my opinion). |
