Joe, good luck on your project - it sounds like you have made a good start.
One thing does come to mind based on what happened when I built my 'basket
case' BJ-8.

The body guy insisted the doors and fenders needed substantial work, but
the frame builder said all the panels were fitted and tuned before it left
there (years prior).

It turned out there were slight differences in the hinges. The frame
builder had stamped them with positions, but the car arrived at the body
shop with scrambled hinges. My takeaway is to ensure it all fits before
moving forward.

Good luck and enjoy the journey!

I had a front end mishap when I first got my BJ7 in 74.=C2=A0 I found a
replacement shroud in perfect condition and gave it to him in lieu of
trying to straighten out the old one.

Well, some months later I went to pick up the car and it wasn't until I got
home that I noticed a very slight difference in the spaces between the
right and left doors and the shroud. After looking closely at the shroud
from the inside I realized they had cut the right half off of each
shroud and welded the new to the old and the=C2=A0 measurements were off.

The place was such a nightmare to deal with I just said the hell with it
and kept it that way.=C2=A0 I'm not a body guy (obviously) but what the hel=
l
were they thinking?

Probably not relevant to this thread but thought I'd share it.
