Got the body mounts shifted forward, and enlisted my grandson Dillon who'll be 11 in August, to help hold and assemble. We dropped the passenger side stanchion down about 1/4" to get the windshield to fit the body better, then put the frame on to check fit. Quickly learned that getting the fabric snaps hooked with the frame on the car is all but impossible - when you flex the sides in to attach at the body mounts the top bow arcs to tighten the fabric so it came off again, snapped the fabric on and then back on the car again. Once in place we snugged up the stanchion bolts, and ran one of the mirrors in place just to see how it looked. The only thing left to do is drilling a hole through the rings into the pins on top of the stanchions and thread them to 10-32 for an insurance machine screw. I know that it's supposed to be OK as is, but I'll feel better with a screw in each post.

Still a bit of gap at the back corners, but less than 1/4"
