Body fitting process.

[Usudno]

It may be a lot to ask but I'll ask it anyway. Would anyone be willing to list a guide/ step by step proccess to fitting the body. So far i have:

- placed the body on the frame
- Marked my aluminum that needed to be trimmed
- removed the body
- trimmed marked aluminum
- installed foam and bulb seal
- reinstalled body
- loosely mounted body with front mounts and quick jacks
- loosely mounted doors and trunk lid

My side pipe openings are quite a ways off, wheels seem to be not centered in openings and the rear tires have different gaps on each side (the gaps may be from the ride height being off. I need to go back and check it).

If someone could run me through the best process and practices to fitting the body, I would appreciate it. I have looked through quite a few bodywork threads and most just breeze through the actual body install and concentrate more on the fiberglass work.

Thanks for all the help.
