Thanks guys, this has worked out really well. Brian and Hugo have been knocking these paint work out of the park for us. On time and on budget.

Last weekends race in the Eastern Nevada Desert went very well. We finished the race in 7.5 hours with only on blown drive belt and a heavily damaged front skid plate that worked as a shovel for the last 80 miles of a 304 mile race. Now time to get back to work.

The silt beds were pretty Knarly. There was maybe 40 miles of silt like this it seemed. Lots of loose loose dirt.

On 50's & 60's cars with side trim, what is the technique of installing the trim and or body work such that the body doesn't pull inward where at the trim bolts?

You spend time making the body straight only to install the trim and have it wavy around the mounting holes. Is there a way around this aside form not installing the trim?

Your making the trim way to tight. It just trim it only needs to not move.

I have seen this many of times. One thing I have done in the past is use large rubber washers approx. 1/8" thick and 1" in diameter, Follow up with stainless washer a little smaller in diameter and locknuts. Tighten just enough to load the rubber washer so it doesn't spin.

On another note....Looks killer Rodger! Nice for you guys to have it all under one roof. When are you going to start doing interior? :)
