 The body will be trial fit/adjusted along with the doors to ensure everything fits before the body
and parts are painted. All of the trim accessories will also be trial fit/adjusted. Since the rear
clip is one piece, get two people to help when you’re ready to position the body onto the frame.
The body is delicate but can be pulled around the frame without any problems.
 If body cut outs were ordered, the side exhaust, side louver, headlight, taillight, turn signal,
wiper, gas cap, and side mount holes are done at the factory. The body comes standard with the
large nose hole cut.
 It is smart to have some help when doing this step. Much of the positioning is push and pull until
all holes line up. The fiberglass edges can be very sharp. Wear gloves when lifting or holding
the body.
Using two people, one on each side holding the wheel well and side exhaust recess move towards the
frame from the rear with the back slightly lower than the front.
