Thats going to be a nice ride! Im planning on using square tubing in a similar way that you did inside the body. Im building a 27 coupe and plan on a chop later on down the road. For right now, channeling the body will be good enough......ive still gota get that body over the frame!!

Thanks, I actually went with 3/16th tubing, reinforced the front and got a welding shop to mount my perch. Too much riding on that one piece.

I think I had the body on and off about three times before it would fit. A little cut and grind here and there and finally it went on. A real PIA when you're by yourself and all you have is an engine hoist!!! It actually fit the frame better than I had planned, about 3/4 " all the way around, and the taper is perfect for the body. Sometimes dumb luck is on your side.
