Its basically a pretty simple operation, Larry. There are 5/8" alignment holes on the frame and the body next to the firewall mounts to help you align it squarely to the body. Theres also a picture on my site with some measurements that may help you http://home.sport.rr.com/cdjrracing/NOVA%20FRAME.htm Hope this helps you out :)
