I have the bottom flange and the sides of the fire wall repaired. The lower offset that is welded to the inner sill has been repaired. I have moved the front end onto the frame. That went well using the engine crane. The inner sills are from the roadster factory, purchased approx. 4 years ago by the PO. All the mounting points have the standard number of pads. This is my initial check to see how the front end repairs are looking and to get the side walls positioned and welded to the fire wall. The passenger side all mounts up very well. The driver side seems that the inner sill mounting plates are off a little bit. If the plates are lined up the diagonal mounting holes are off. If I line up the diagonal holes the inner sill mounts are off. There is very little I can do about the diagonal mounting position and as I reworked the frame last year and am very confident that the frame is right I am looking at reworking the inner sill. As this is my first restoration I could use advice on what I should expect to see as far as tolerances. I am trying to match both sides as I go. I feel I spend too much time trying to make everything match but I also hate to say close enough and have it cause a problem down the road. Comments are welcome. Frank
