[Roadsters] Body/frame alignment question

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Fred,

It was not uncommon for roadsters bodies to be installed offset on the 
frames.  My '66 was.  But, I don't see anywhere near an inch difference 
between the two sides.  And, the holes in the body are not slotted or 
enlarged to allow for movement.  I had to carefully grind away some material 
to shift the body by about 3/16 of an inch.

I see Tim asked whether you have the same year quarters on each side.  Even 
if you don't, though, I don't see you picking up an inch on one side.
