It actually looks like a car in those pictures The body has been aligned and everything was fit together perfectly. I figured the best way to do it was to adjust the panels to the center of their adjustment then adjust the whole assembly to get it aligned. That way when I am building the car the final time I should have enough adjustment range to ensure a perfect fit on everything.

Once that was done I tore it back down to actually weld all the brackets in place. I just spot welded everything when making it up. Most brackets were nearly impossible to get to just to spot weld with the body on.



Now all the brackets are done, all the welding is done, the base painting is done. Time to build a car
