So it took me literally hours just to set up the posts & plate. First I screwed the plate to the rafters, then levelled the posts & jacked it carefully using 2 bottle jacks & then a floor jack in the middle (cut all the stud nails first!). Then I cut 2x4s to fit (95") & clamped then screwed them together Added some cross bracing, since it's gonna be there a couple days, since it took me so long to setup . Found after that that the corner post is toast so I removed it entirely Extra large end opening now. Have to do the sill first, then the corner post , then tie the door frame to the post, then address the studs Doors will be much more level than before, once it's all tied together Cleaned the foundation, packed some gravel in the openings & added some concrete (not finished) - I'm going to add another anchor bolt at the west end to the 8' section going in

Bummer. But glad you figured that out BEFORE you had a casting made!!

Great news, I fiddled with the adjustable latch under the license plate panel and was able to get it to line up way better by pulling the latch down and to the left. Thanks all

All of the reproduction bumpers are stainless steel I believe. Group Harrington(?) from the UK might be the exception to that. I have a set of repop stainless bumpers. They're ok but seem to be soft and scratch easily. Hard chrome is much more scratch resistant. On a car built to this level, I would want chrome.
