What are you working on ?!?

It's possible that your bracing did not hold the body together too well. Just move it so that the channels have a couple bolts into the pan and that the rest of the body has a couple of major bolts in the pan. This should help get you lines up for tack welding ......

Aftermarket parts aren't known to fit like a glove. Most (pans, aprons, channels, fenders, etc) would require a little tweaking to make it work just right. Just drill new holes if you did install it correctly but still don't line up.
