After the body shell was painted we positioned the chassis underneath the body shell and lowered it onto the frame. The body shims were held in place like they were originally using masking tape. Once the quarter panels and doors are installed we will add shims as necessary to achieve good body gaps.

I really like that colour choice. The car should look really "sharp" when finished. Good luck.sigpic

Been around this marque long enough to remember when folks simply could not FATHOM putting this kind of effort into a 65-66 Studebaker! Inspiring - and I've always thought that particular shade of red was attractive.No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.Comment
