I welded a new jack tube on to the replacement wheelhouse section from Restoration Design today, aligning it perfectly with the square hole that came pre-punched in the new panel. When I started fitting the jack post brace, I had to adjust the bends on it by about 1/8" to get it to fit right. I am having a hard time getting accurate measurements from the old chunk of long I have because it is a disaster.
The question is, how reliable is the pre-punched guide hole? Should I just roll with it? Anyone else run into something similar? Thanks in advance. Pics:     |

i normally put the long on then fit the jack post to it using the hole in the outer rocker as my guide. That way I KNOW it is where it should be. Which BTW is usually NOT where the hole is punched but is very close. I then mark that spot, take everything off and cut the tube down to the proper depth,then weld it all together
