The ground clearance will be 6" so i cut a bunch of 2X3 box tube and welded them together to make 6" risers, doing it this way the work fixture will represent the ground and it'll be easier to visualize everything.
To get the seat low enough it has to be below the top of the frame rail, the 1st pic shows a piece of the body sitting on the stock 'a' rails and you can see there isn't any way to get the seat low enough. I'll have to reshape the model 'a' rails to the dimensions of the body subframe and remove the subframe so the body will now set down over the rails leaving the middle wide open. I set the body on the work fixture and did a rough outline of the perimeter. I welded 1X3 to the 6" box risers and then tacked these to the work fixture in the shape of the body outline. The 2nd pic shows a looksee at how it was going.
After getting the perimeter tacked up i set the body on top - 3rd pic - and located exactly where it will go. I then ran around the body with primer and made the outline of the body in the 4th pic
