I mounted the cage on the extra 66 Convertible frame i had using 1 spacer per side on the #2 and #3 body mount locations. The rear deck was from another car, which i didnt realize until recently. Once i realized that, i broke the two apart at the bond. I mounted the rear deck and rear floor tub onto the frame next and used one spacer per side at the #4 body mount location. Then I made sure all holes were lined up and pulled the rear tub tight against the pillars where they rivet in place. Finally, I checked the alignment of the latch pillar covers to the deck and all looked good, so i moved forward with riveting the tub to the luggage stop and extensions. If the cage is set up correctly, then aligning the fiberglass is pretty straightforward. I would think it would be near impossible to align it correctly without using a frame or properly set up jig.
