I have a couple questions:

first when i went to test fit some of my trunk today with the inner / outers (just pushed in and clamped.) the left side fit really well, now the right side seems to sit to high. The bushing hole is a little off it looks

is the frame support under the trunk suppose to "sit" on the frame or float above it?

second What could be causing it to sit high. The passenger side is riding slightly on the frame and sits really good but the drivers side is off quite a bit.

Oh yeah im doing this all with the quarters on the car.

finally, what do you guys suggest i do with the dropoffs, i tested them in there and they are just terrible. they look like they will take alot of extra work to get to fit right. Do you have any tips for them?

Looks good man. The car "floats" on the body bushings.

The brace sits parallel with the frame, welded to the trunk floor. The body bushings sit between the brace and the frame.

As far as the drop of panels, they will require some tweaking and trimming. Mine had to be modified but look great now that they are in.
