Hi all

I’ve gotten some great info on this forum and have another question

As you see in the pic I’m ready to start assembly after everything has been fitted and I’m drilling a ton of holes.... I’m wondering what should I start with.... weld on outer wheel houses then move to the tail panel?

Or tail panel then outer wheel houses

I have to admit the passenger side is about a quarter inch higher when I mocked it up and I have to pull it down a bit so the tail panel sits level....

Therefore I’m wondering if I should do the tail panel first...otherwise the trunknfloor sits level...

Lastly I keep hearing different opinions on whether the car should be sitting on jacks at the torque box area or weighted on the rear axel...

now it’s on jacks at the torque box area but I occasionally will transfer the weight to the axel to check measurements and either way the car sits level..

Thanks again for the great advice !!
