Body and Doors assembly

I have a Sebring 5000 MX
I installed the front and rear clips using clamps and the dimensions in the manual.
I notice that the rear tires are not even close to be centered in the wheel opening. If I center the tires in the wheel openings, I end up with a gap between the rear of the doors and the rear clip of 3/8 & 1/2".
I would appreciate any feed back.
Thank you

Welcome to the real world of non-production cars.
This is true of almost every kit car AND almost every production car through the seventies. Nobody was measuring panel gap with calipers.
I would agree that 3/8 to 1/2 is a lot in door gaps, but it's not much in center of wheel in the opening.
I'd bet you a dollar to a donut that you wouldn't even notice it unless it's at just the right visible angle.
All 4 of mine are off 1/4 to 3/8 and different on both sides. In 16 years of driving and showing it. NO ONE has said a thing. It just doesn't matter.
There's always a way to fix it if you really feel it's necessary. If you assemble it and check before bonding, you'll find all the differences - then decide what route to take.
Just my .02 cents

Hi Jerry
Thank you for the information, it really helps. It appears I move the body parts here and there and all is good.
Thank you

Well that was fast. Congratulation.

My MX has been measured and plumb bobbed for hours with no answer. Body measures right and frame has been laser aligned. Right side is off, 5000s are right on. I notice it on MXs that are listed for sale. It troubles me, but no one has ever mentioned it at shows or races.

Hello Loren
Thank you for the information. You're right about the body not being right, the rear clip is 1/2" different from one side to the other, measuring from the front of the wheel well to the front of the clip. I'm going to try and adjust a little here and there and hope I can get it close enough, then close my eyes.
Thanks again.
Bart
