Re: Front upper chassis bar won't line up to bolt holes. Force it?

Brian,
we have 3 of them and even moving parts from one car to another is often a struggle. Some stuff is easy (Coleman suspension), but other stuff is more of a PIA. There is a quite a bit of hand building etc with these cars and newer parts (if available) seem to be "rougher." Body panels are very crude, new fron clip required lots of time to fit and when we smashed up the radiator and support there was a ton of time to get the metal work all correct. Cars could be "bent" but not likely too much.... they are all bent a bit!

My point is that stuff like this post should be expected in a "custom made" race car and you just have to be expecting it. Everything seems to take more time in boats and race cars.

Kevin
