What if you remove the body, insert the floorpan, refit to chassis and then
do the assembly. It appears to me that by holding the body on the chassis,
the chassis acts as a "Jig" to ensure correct fitment and alignment.

I have heard that you can't install the full trunk pan while the body is
on the frame. It doesn't fit through the top and you can't work around the
frame rails underneath either. I have never tried it myself.
Quoting Mike Holleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I believe Dean said his car is a 65 Convertible. There are no one piece
trunks made that I am aware of for the 64/67 Abodys. And Dean, never try
to replace any body panel, including floor pans and trunks without the
body sitting on the chassis. When I do a frame off, I do all the body
panels first while still on the chassis. I will save most of the
underside welding for the rotissorie.
