Hi out there in Ciber-Morganland,

I am currently rebuilding a 1960 Plus 4 Morgan 2 seater.  This is my first
auto rebuild of any kind.  Needless to say, I usually have some sort of
inane question.  My Mog is currently in the mid stages of going back
together.  In May I received a body tub from the factory.  Upon receiving
the body, I observed several things which I now have questions about.

1. The back panel came fitted to the timbers but not nailed or screwed.
Should attching panel to timbers be done after the body is permanently
mounted to the chassis?  (faxed the Factory but no response).
2. Both doors fit well at all areas except that both doors set out from the
body from 1/4 to 3/8 an inch next to the elbow panel.  Could shimming at
the hinges solve the problem? Any solutions out there ?
