Body on the frame!!! Now what?

[Usudno]

I "placed" the body on the frame this afternoon. I havnt begun attaching it. What should I be looking for issues wise? I plan on getting it mounted securely and starting to fit doors, hood, and truck, but I want to make sure I'm nice and straight. I did not put any bulb seal or weather stripping on. I play to remove and reinstall the body once more.

Thanks guys!

You really need to have the bulb seal in place before fitting and attaching...but since it's sitting there without it make sure that you have ~3/8" clearance between the aluminum panels that get it and the body (pay close attention to the trunk side panels where they curve around to vertical as well as the rearmost lip of the trunk floor). Mark any panels that need to be trimmed, pull the body, trim as necessary, install the seal and then drop the body back on.

The vertical portion of the trunk will defiantly need trimming!! I'll check the others and pull it off and seal her up!
