Gen 1 body fitment at firewall

[FF33rod]

So first trial fit of the body on the frame. I have the chrome tilt steering column and the bottom of the dash is hitting the column before the body comes all the way down to the top of the firewall on the driver's side as shown in these pics.

However, as it sits, it seems like the cowl is pretty much level. I recall reading in some threads where one side needed to be shimmed up anyway to make it level. Was that the driver's side and is this making sense?
For reference, the bottom of the body side sill is even with the bottom of the frame on the passenger side but is slightly above the bottom of the frame on the driver side.

Thanks
Steve

Mine fit the same way however was better once I had raised the rear of the body to get that critical dimension (45.5" maybe, cant remember) that FFR requires for the door and Hardtop fitment. Clamp the front and then get it level as best as possible, then raise the rear to get the diomession and it will be a bit better. In the end I was able to adjust that area a bit to make it less apparent. Unfortunately the gap below that (vertical portion) is the bigger challenge to seal up and have it look right.
