    I ASSUME your using the below attached drawing. The Ford drawing uses different reference points, I can post this if needed. It is nice to have both in order to double shcesk. Note, it does take a bit of math to compare the 2 diagrams.

    Your definitely in a pickle. But it is not unrecoverable. That being said my recommendation is to lock "X-6 1/2", I drilled a hole 6 1/2" up the support & bolted the body to the frame/table. Raise/lower the front of the body until your "C" & "11 3/16" (rear of frame rail) measurements are in range. At that point you may check your rocker dimensions. Next would be adding the pieces adjusting in order to arrive at the proper measurements. Keep in mind even the factory bodys were not perfect, lots of variation. Try to get as close as possible but do not expect perfection.

    I will attach the Ford drawing that you may uses to double check your work. I will also see if I can find my notes that included adjusted dimensions for combined measurements for both drawings.

    I'd fit and drill the holes before paint. I used the chin spoiler from NPD, which fit great and installed easily. 

    I second this. In addition I would fit the glass, trim& gasket before positioning & drilling, skip the sealer inside the gasket until the final install.

    Have you been in a car with louvers? If not you might want to find someone that has them installed so that you may experience them and their quirks before drilling any holes. I had them on an 82 GT & my 69 Mach1, will not be going back on the Mach1 after paint. In both cases the rattles drove me crazy. Als a pain the rear to  clean the glass. But they look great. :-)

    Read the voltage at all of the connections of the red/blue, with the ignition switch in start position. I would start in the middle a d work back toward the ignition switch until you find voltage. The problem will be between where you have voltage and where you do not. Could also start at the ignition switch and work toward the starter solinoid.
