Great job. I'm an ASE certified and ICAR trained automotive refinisher with 45 years of experience, and that's a GREAT paint job right there. Looks like it was dipped in paint not sprayed.

Sorry !! Just saw this. My sub was fully loaded with drivetrain, so I was moving it back into the body carefully and did need to make small adjustments to many things, along with the fuel line, but nothing major. Slow and careful and it will all slide right in.
I do have the advantage of the body being held with my forklift and adjusting height infinitely to get the body to "drop" down on the sub with the trans and shifter, less the stick, in place. If you have the body on a lift, it will easy...

Very nice words. Thanks. Not sure if you saw the link in the first post, but it goes to a paint oriented forum so a lot more about the bodywork and paint there in case you are interested. A great forum and support/resource for hobbyists like me. (Southern Polyurethane Inc’s forum)
