    Hello Everyone,

    I'm going to put my frame up under my '55 soon. When I took it apart I kept track of how many shims were between the body and the frame mounts. Do you think I should put the same amount back in it or not? Thanks!!!

      No, I think you should re-shim it so the doors fit right. If you're using new body mounts things might change. I'd start with no shims and see how everything fits, then maybe shim the same places you took shims out if needed. I think there's some instructions somewhere as to how to shim to fix gaps.
