67/68/69 cuda dilemma
1 hour more and I am here on this. Since I am trying to locate the hinge supports in the exact same spot, I used tracing paper, and rubbed a tracing of the edge of the old frame, and where the drill marks were on the original part. Then I transferred that to the replacement piece, and used a #40 drill to locate for cleco pins. Now the holes line up centered where the drill holes are in the body. Rechecked the dutchman height. Still at 17 inches. Not welded in yet, but this went a lot quicker than I thought. Pays to rethink a plan of action to death before acting on it lol.
