For me to do it all over again, I would have dropped the engine in before seperating the frame and body to account for this in fabricating before any paint flew. Now, it just doesn't touch but the body is shimmed here and there anyways from bieng in demolition derby's from what I've seen. Christ, seeing how this car came from Georgia, I think she ran from the revenuers a few times off road. Or, if the bottom is gonna be flat black and easily touched up, adjust it later if need be.

Next car I will know more, can't know any less sometimes!
