Dan,
I use contact cement to glue all pads to the frame. This includes all the
metal pads as well. Makes installing the frame that much easier.
On a 6 the # of pads and metal shims depends on the doors. Trial and error
usually.
Just completed installing the body tub on my 72 6 project. Everything went
just as planned. Every hole in the body lined up with its hole/welded nut in
the frame.
