The Fisher Unisteel Turret Top Body is built up
from five major panel
assemblies-Namely: the
floor, cowl and dash, right and left rear quarter

to form the shell of the complete body
unit.
The following figures,

In addition to the welding lines shown in figures
1 and 2, the roof panel is welded
to the top of the front
body hinge pillar cover panels, which are a
part of the cowl and dash
assembly. The quarter
panels are spot-welded to the wheel housing as
shown in figures 1 and 2. The
upper part of the quarter panels is spot-welded to the roof
panel.
The cowl and dash assembly is strengthened by bracing. It will be
noted in Fig. 3 that three braces
are welded to the front body hinge pillar. This makes an extremely
rigid mounting for the door.
The instrument panel is a separate stamping
attached to the cowl and dash
assembly by screws
