I am doing the body fitment on to the frame. In the front the body seems to have a cutout around the corner of the frame. But, in the rear the lower edge of the body won't fit under the frame and the body is pushed out in this area. Is this normal or do I need to cut that lower edge out to let the body sit lower.
Attached are a couple of pictures showing what I am talking about. The pictures aren't very good, but I think they show enough.
Thanks for any and all help, Larry408214082240823

The body should fit over the frame in that area.

He always does that.
Body fitment.The body is hitting on the top of the frame next to the fuel tank. The only way to get the body under the frame in the back, would be to cut and reweld the top of the frame, which is something I can do, but I really don't want to. This body has been outside for over 5 years, so maybe that makes a difference. Has anyone else run into this problem.
Thanks again for the help, Larry

Larry I stand corrected. I went back to look at pics of my 33 build. the way yours sits is correct. The frame does show in the back. It is part of the raked look of the car. Unfortunately I do not have a good low angle pic to show you.
