Turns out that the original builder couldn't read a ruler any better than he could weld. Even though the locations of the parts are clearly described, he managed to get them way off and then proceeded to weld them there. Oh well, that shouldn't surprise me at all. He also managed to get the rear body section mounted too far forward, which explains why I was having such a hard time getting the doors adjusted. I cut the posts loose and repositioned them where they actually are supposed to be.





I think these are the last of the builders "welds" that I have to fix.

That looks like some of the junk a former maintenance manager use to put out at the place I retired from. He was one of those kind of guys that when he was "working" on something you stayed far, far away.

He didn't build a kit car did he? This may be it.
