    Hi guys I have a 1954 chevy 2dr sedan. I addes a 2x4 box steel frame to a 78 camaro sub frame. I did not realize how bad the body was distorted until I tried to make the doors fit right. I need to know where I can find dimentions so I can square it all up to get the frame mounts back to the correct spots. anyone know?

    Factory Shop Manuals of the period have frame drawings with dimensions illustrated.

    Google FAXON and you will find their website. They have manuals for about anything. In print or on DVD.

    Maybe if you post some pictures of what the car looks like, we can have a better idea what you're dealing with, and be able to make useful suggestions? We don't know if it's a nice solid body, or a rust bucket, or had the floor cut out, or whatever
