I didn't clamp mine or pin it. I used the engine and axles to square it up then sandwiched it between paint bottles to dry once I had it level, ha, ha!!! Clamps are probably a better idea... but mine is quite solid now... Tamiya orange cap glue...

I have discovered that the floorpan in my kit is warped. I'm hoping it will straighten out when I attach the body work to it. Henry Ford's favorite color back in the day was black, so that's the color I started using:  |
