[VAC] Re: Having trouble getting the shell back on my 58 Traveler...

Hi Will,

This is a wild guess......

If the driveway/shop floor where the work took place was not absolutely flat 
and level, it may have introduced a slight twist or warp into the frame when 
the coach floor and belly pan were removed.  Installing the new floor and 
belly pan may have then "locked" the distortion into the frame causing it to 
no longer match the shape of the shell.  If this is the case, "ratcheting 
the shell down" to match the frame may put stresses on the shell that could 
have undesirable consequences, like the warping the door opening so that the 
door will no longer fit.  A check of the frame shape or alignment might be 
in order.
