    GEN 1 Body First Install

    I put the body on last week for the first time. I spent Saturday setting the ride height and raising the rear of the body to achieve the 45.5 inch measurement. The body is flush with the firewall both at the top and bottom. I also checked it for level, with a laser, both across the cowl and the rear trunk area. The problem I have is, there is a gap between the rear bulkhead and the body of approximately one inch. Is this normal. There is also a gap on the passenger side between the body and the frame at the door opening (expected) and on the drivers side (not expected). I did the mod. to the bottom of the passenger lower firewall. IMG_0123.JPGIMG_0124.JPGIMG_0127.JPGIMG_0125.JPGIMG_0126.JPG
