After reading all the posts with the frame rails being too long, I got lucky. They lined up and weren't too long. I had bought the left one from Year One and it is a Dynacorn piece and the right one was from Classic Industries.

THe floor pan was from Classic Industries and the Trunk Pan was from Year One.... I think...

WIth that being said the parts went on relatively easy considering the only piece I had help putting in was the floor pan (my wife helped).

I took the measurements and they were right on which made me very happy. Thank God I braced the inside and left the doors on.

The forums helped alot and I don't think I could have done it without this.

I will post pictures when I have more time.

Later,
Nico:yes::):D

Mine were to long but it wasnt a hard fix. I was able to take the rear shackle holder part of the frame out wihtout chopping it up and a simple comparison side by side showed me where to cut and make new tabs on the new one.

Well I spoke too soon... I did have to take about an 1" of each frame rail. I must have been delirious last night. But It wasn't that bad and fairly easy.

Now I am just in the mock-up stage. Once I plan on getting everything lined up I will weld the trunk, floorpan and frame rails. I am looking forward to makng it a roller again.
