[QUOTE="OldSkool, post: 16166570, member: 194781"] Funny I haven’t really thought of it this way. I’ve always loved fabrication, and have done my share of it, so you’d think that would be the first thing I thought of considering how many times I had to cut things apart and start over when I first started. Makes perfect sense really and wouldn’t even have to be that part that was slightly bent. Could be anywhere in that general area. I’ve always explained it to the many young ones that have worked in the shop like this, since most of them had already done some type of carpentry work: Think of it like this. If you are building a square deck you set your posts and brace them until the concrete dries. Then you come back and start on your sub floor. Let’s say you were off by a 1/16” on setting the center. By the time you get to your outside corners and check for square you will be an inch or two off because of that one sixteenth of an inch you let slide fifteen boards ago. Same principle really. It could be off a fraction of a millimeter somewhere else that eventually ties into that part of the body which could translate to a few mm by the time it got to that point. And it has no effect structurally so no reason to scrap it and start over which is the only thing you could do. I imagine a ford engineer with exact plans and a lot of time could figure out exactly where the starting point is for what it’s off. Thanks for that reply because I’ve been so tunnel focused on it I never thought of the simplest answer. I have some 2x2 and 2x3 pieces of flat steel, I think I will make a new punch out of one of those and a steel rod. I know for sure it needs only at most a quarter inch(that would give about an eighth inch clearance after install) to clear it and work properly.
