Body To New Chassis

[rdssdi]

I am trying to fit a new mid-front section to my +2.

The mid front section extends from approx. mid front wheel arch to the front of car.

I have already cut off the old section. I am having difficulty aligning the new section.

Further complicating matters, I have the body on a new Spyder chassis. I have yet to drill and tap the chassis. I am hoping that I will be able to attach the new section, then drill/tap and attach the body to the chassis.

It seems that the original body is "twisted". I can move the body slightly around the center line or "backbone axis".

Should I attach the body to the chassis first? How do I measure?

Has anyone replaced a front section and chassis?

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
