We used the dimensions from the Fisher Body Service Manual to build a fixture to hold the body shell as we constructed it. We built a table out of 3x3 square tube steel, and then we built adjustable cross bars to hold vertical stands to which we will attach the body. The table references the factory datum line, and the stands hold the body to the original dimensions in relationship to that datum line. The whole fixture was checked for straightness multiple times before we started to assemble the new tub.
