Three Peaks:
The problem with the body is the channel is not wide enough to accommodate the chassis tube AND the carpeted alum panel as shown in the photo on my gallery. The top of the interior alum panel is riveted to the frame tube and then angles outward as it goes down toward the floor of the car. Someone told me to cut the lip off the body so it would be an 'L' shape. That would relieve the pressure and make it fit but you said the downward lip or channel adds strength to the body (and that is the weakest part of the body). I think if I just shave off enough of the lip to make it fit I can retain some of the strength and some of the pressure.
