Initial Body Fitment: Dash and Door Latch Mounts

[Jim Doak]

Fellow builder Eddie C came over yesterday and helped me mount the body onto the chassis for the first time since I started my build last August. Now I have a couple of questions/concerns:

1. The underside of the body roll/lip sits right against the dash pad on the driver's side and appears to be very close to touching the ring on the speedometer. Is that normal or do I need to perform a little sanding on the body roll to provide some clearance?

2. Does it look like the body is sitting in the correct position in relation to the door latch mounting plates?

Here's a few pics.

Thanks.

Jim,
You need to trim the rollover on the cowl about 3/8" and move the body forward 1/4"
