The Fake Jaguar Thread

Squaring everything up again, with string, long rulers, big squares, little plumb bobs, and tape.

I had to trim things twice before I could line it up well enough to tell anything.

Looks like this 3/8” “sliver” trim will get things square. It might all still need to get a bit shorter.

I believe that I calculated the steel tunnel at the crossmember will need 1/2” trimmed off, But I can’t recall if that was from the long end or the short end of the floor, because it’s not square.

Today I am down to the part of my chassis mods that I have dreaded.

In order to trim the floorboards I have to assemble the weldment and then mark the interference points and then disassemble it and then trim.

Then I have to do the whole thing again and again: disassembling and trimming, and assembling and marking, until I get the whole thing to fit.

The good news is that after several rounds of this it is almost in alignment.

Just a few more trims and it will be ok.
