That last post was screwed up. Trying to get this pic posting down.
After securing the body to my frame jig, and adding supports inside the cab I was ready to start the chop.

I first removed the center section of the roof, and cut all the spot welds holing the TEE moulding between the panels. I installed shims to make up for the thickness of the molding, and reinstalled the roof panel.

I Braced the front cowl section, cut off the rear sub frame, and replaced the bottom 6" of the cowl. Everything inside has been etch primed, and epoxy coated. I also repaired the leading edges if the firewall which was a mess.

Here it's ready for the rear sub frame to be installed.

Here I'm tacking the Tee moulding back on, see you don't have to cut them in the middle.

This shows the new Brookville trunk lid, and lower panel. The latch hole was off center, the latch would not fit in the lid, and mounting holes were off. The lower panel had no curve to it in either direction, in other words, normal!

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
