The chassis guy from Virginia said for hanging the body and doing ANY chassis set up I MUST sit the car on a perfectly flat piece of floor so I picked up a cheap laser level and scoped out a level piece of floor, the left front was the highest part so it has nothing the RF has 3/8" the two backs were 1"

I coated them with waterproofing stain I had lying around so they would be less likely to pick up water and warp if they got wet

Frame heights will be determined by blocks set under the frame rails behind the front wheels and in front of the back wheels on the level surface and adjusted by the jack screws in the front and rear suspension as you can see in the third pic

Weeks later (typical) I get it back.....worse than I had hoped but better than I was afraid....the roof was toast and would need to be replaced....the area between the tail lights was shot....etc etc

here is where the delays started.....I dont do finish body work.....I had this guy lined up to come over and work on the car, I thought we were all good to go then he just went MIA...unable to contact him.....wasted like 3 weeks before I gave up and another 2 or 3 weeks finding another guy who still works with me.....

Anyway the new guy Dave agreed the roof was shot so I ordered a new roof (another 3 weeks) and off came the roof and the new one installed

Installed the new roof and shaved the drip rails an old Nascar trick to improve aero....hope people appreciate the the shaved rails as it was a lot of work for Dave and cost me a lot of $$ lol!
