I have the frame of my 67 hardtop completely stripped and sitting directly on the level floor of my garage. Last night I noticed a slight twist in the rear portion. I took some measurements, from the rear end forward:
1" difference in height at the rear corners
1/2" difference in height at the rear body mount locations
1/4" difference in height at the rear coil spring locations
1/8" difference in height at the rear cross member
It's straight from there all the way to the front. What do you think, should I have it straightened? One body shop said "A 1 inch twist in that short a distance is significant." Another one said that it's not bad enought to worrying about--the body will pull everything even. Can I get some more opinions? Thanks in advance.
