Spent a few hours fixing the batten to the exterior sides and then attempting to attach the sides to the truck. While putting truck on it's side on the panel helped in setting up the batten it didn't help in making the truck square. I did find using a level and clamping a bar to the front helped in lining up the panels and making the front end appear level. Some of the panels have been cut incorrectly- front fender tops, rear inner fender tops, front apron, lower dash panel. I failed to clarify when I had the panels fabricated that I was going to do a LHD truck so the panels that were labeled LHD and RHD were cut for both and the panels that were RHD were not reversed for LHD. So far the lower dash piece seems to be the biggest issue as it has a camfered edge that will effect the assembly of that section. Top photo shows the correct position of the lower dash and RHD, second photo shows LHD position. Note the extra cut in the dash. Several pieces were done this way, there was an error of sorts in the CNC files that created this.
This is the progress from today- both exterior panels attached, and the front fender panels attached.
