Dan,
Thanks for your evidence about these stud locations. As I said earlier, I am quite surprised that AC took such pains to get these locations consistent. We have seen much evidence that their panel guys had difficulty getting the body locations consistent, left to right and front to rear. This despite hammering aluminum against a wooden buck. The joining of the panels being the critical part.
Dcmgt's evidence about the side curtain fitment on an unmodified car is quite telling.
