Now the motor has been re-installed into the finished frame. The frame rolled under the car
and jacked up at the back. The rear bolts are installed first and then the jack under the center of the frame lifts
it against the fire wall mounts. There are shims placed there. I started with the original ones and measured to
the holes till I got the same measurement as the old frame. You have to bolt the frame in place and let the jack
down to get a good measurement. There is a little flexing without the fenders and other stuff on. It all works
together to make the car solid. With just the inner fender wells on, you could jack under the center front and
they would move a little bit. The jack stands were under the bottom of the rocker panels. The rocker panels are
part of the frame in uni-body cars.
