Larry,
When I first got my car, there were (4) 1/4 inch shims on the rear chassis to
rear body mounts, and the doors were still just closing. The gaps were closer
to 3/4 inch on both sides. I was amazed how far out the chassis was. You could
see the body actually attatching to the car, not just the end of the chassis
rails. It also made my rusty muffler look very beatup..
When the body came off, there were holes in the chassis rails all over and most
of them went straight through. Mine was a gonner when I got it...
