Hi All,
Thank you all for the comments. The impression I get, is that however I get the panels and bonnet to fit is fine. In answer to Howard's post, the rear of the side panels has a curve and it I were raise the rear of the body, the side panel fit might be improved, but I would still have a bonnet front fit issue. The flitch panels would also have a fit issue and the rear. One issue is that on this CC body, the side panel dimensions, top to bottom, is almost 1/4" different between near side and off side. My alloy horns will not be under stress and the curve is actually good. It is the height that is the issue.
