Help! Body Mounting

[Bourbon]

Hi all, I hear it is very cold over there in the USA. In Australia we are having a heat wave 90-100 most days last week.

Does anyone have any advise for a foolish person who did not count the shims when he removed his '66 coupe body ??

Start with 2 or 3 shims at each location and adjust as necessary at the #4 mounts, which are easily accessible with the body on the frame. Coupes are much less of a hassle than convertibles.

Looks terrific! Make sure the upper bolts for the rear shocks have the heads on the outboard side and the nuts on the inboard side (may have just been the lighting).
