Exclamation Free advise on assembly

Take this for what it is worth, dont mount any of the parts that protrude from the body such as rollbar or side pipes with any type of Permanency untill you test mount the body! The A&C Cobra has a great body, but it is not perfect or symmetrical so you will have to, as the manual states place the body on the frame where you are happy with it, If you pre hang your side pipes you may have make adjustments to the brackets or one sidepipe will stick out further than the other or your rollbar will be to short or tall.
Not that you want my opinion, but here it is anyway, the pros test fit the whole vehicle togther before they paint a single part. Thats how I put my A&C togther and the final assembly held no surprises, but its just my opinion. Sam
