RE: body straightening
What about staightening? My 65 coupe has no rust but has been in an accident and the front/right nose sticks up a little and the rear/left is pushed in about 1 1/2 inches. Are there factory specs anywhere to tell me where everything should be and how do I go about getting this thing pulled straight? Thanks

Mount the doors first. Make sure they are straight. Then mount front fenders then rear quarter. MAKE SURE that the decklid and extensions are straight before welding anything on the quarters.
