You can see the photo with the body on how the body seems to be tiled in the back when comparing it to the bottom visible edge of the frame below the door and windscreen. Are other cars like this? Not sure what to think, the fiberglass matches the frame very well, but the result appears incorrect.
What do you guys think?

Looking good...One thing that I want to make sure you are aware of is the gas tank. It is sensible logic that you mount the gas tank by sliding it down into the frame like shown in your pics, as I did initially. However, you need to mount it from sliding it in through the frame from the bottom. Many a builder have complained after they mount the gas tank they have to cut/fab the trunk compartment because the fiberglass is resting on the tank... that is because they mounted it from the top down versus the bottom up. Just wanted to save you the hassle in case you didn't realize. BTW, I love the tires, they look very niccce.
