Ed - Unfortunately, the driveway slopes both front to back & side to side.
I did think about using some scaffolding to build a raised (and level) platform for the car, but it would not be practical.
Thankfully, the front of the body shell slots now into place around the Spitfire bulkhead, so that should be straight (ish).
Then I plan to use the twin exhaust tail pipes as my reference point to get the back end roughly lined up.

Every Little Helps:
Not much car time available today, but at least I was able to inch along a bit further...
Removed all the screws and various brackets.
Note:
After cutting the slits to get a much tighter shape, I didn't squash the arch that much in the end.
Cleaned up the underside around where the screws had been.
Added some more fibreglass matting across the screw holes & the join.
When that was set, I ground out the join on the sunny side.
( As I wanted to strengthen the main join on this side before I started tackling the shaping of the wheel arch etc. )
Then covered the join in 3 layers of matting, increasing the width of each layer.
So not much, but better than nothing.
Cheers, Paul.
