Well.....I'll say this, if I were to build a drag car with a Deuce body what you have would work fine.

As others have said, it's going to take a lot of work to build and install the inner structure and maintain some semblance of proper fit.

Definitely not a project for impatient people, but as with anything it can be built into a quality piece if you're willing to invest the time and money it will take to make it right. Guess I didn't even know there was anyone out there selling bodies without an inner structure installed. My experience with 'glass has been that the body must be secured in a fixture when the inner structure is installed. I would suggest keeping the body bolted to the frame and inside out of the sun and not subject to temperature extremes until the inner structure is installed------unsupported glass moves around a bunch!!!!!
