Revell 69 Yenko Camaro final assembly

How do you get the body on the chassis? After some careful trial fitting it looks as though the radiator bulkhead is going to be ripped off the chassis in the process.Trying to finish one that has been a wip for several years and don't want to wreck it now.

Front end (inner fenders, etc) of the unibody into the body shell first, then spread the fenders a bit where they touch the rocker panels, then spread the rocker panels to allow the rear inner wheelhouses to slip inside. Last, attach the tail panel and hope it stays in place. ?‍♀️

Thanks Casey. That's the way the instructions show to do it but there is a lot of stress on the radiator bulkhead. I fixed that issue by cutting off the little ears that point forward on each side of the bulkhead. It is now together and I only need to add the final body details. The tail panel went right in with the exhaust pipes helping to hold it in place.
