Drew, I have a couple questions regarding your post. I'm familiar with wave or straightness flaws in molded fiberglass. But don't understand how a body can get wavy after painting. Meaning, if I rough sand, fill, block and color sand a body dead straight, waves form after painting?
I plan to trial mount a new body. Cut all opens, mount accessories align and shim such that when attached to the frame absolutely no stress is imparted. Body will then be disassembled and painted separately. After paint cures, will reinstall being careful body mount shims are exactly correct. Will be using OEM rubber, or very pliable urethane mounts to best absorb vibrations. Typical, urethane mounts are way too stiff.
The other point is the spacers you mentioned. Does Kentrol's instructions address this? Are their mounting points that far out of position? If so, that alone my steer me away from their product. Has Kentrol ever justified their wooden core material? Contemporary, composite manufacturers of boats abandoned this years ago.
