Build crew-while pulling wires to my trunk area I noticed this difference—The DS position and PS position of the trunk hinge mounts are quite different. First, are the rings welded on the rear frame hoop indeed for the hinges?

Is the PS mount rotated too far up? I think the DS is correct? If I’m right, it’s an ez cut and MIG weld at this point and I’d rather address it now. Thanks for the help y’all.

I had one like that recently as well made no difference in the end. I didn’t change it.

I have 2 chassis without bodies on at the moment so out of curiosity I just measured both. Going from the top of the square tube to the top of the curve on the tabs they ranged from 1/4" to 3/8". Passenger side was higher on both. If anything it looks like your driver's side tab is low but in the end I don't think it matters---there is a lot of adjustability in all 3 axis on the hinges and you should be well within range.

Mike and Jeff, thanks for your responses. I’ll leave them where they are.
